The title page does not agree with any listings in OCLC (the World Catalogue), but the next-to-last leaf describes a limited edition, the Vorzugsausgabe in 100 copies, signed, bound in half-vellum. The composer's inscription on the copyright page is printed, not written by hand. The librettist "Paul Schott" is a pseudonym for Korngold's father Julius, a noted music critic. The libretto was based on "Bruges-la-Morte," a short novel by Georges Rodenbach. No copies appear in American Book Prices Current since 1988.
