Good purchase

It arrived in good condition. The real color of the cover is a bit darker though.

Was this the book that was referred to in the play "ART"?

My friends and I saw the play "ART" in Los Angeles, with Alan Alda and two other very fine actors. The book Seneca was mentioned. The play was about a man buying a white on white painting and the relationship thereafter with his two friends.
