Francis Bacon's paintings sell for many millions of dollars, and a monograph like this, hand signed and warmly inscribed, not once but twice by the artist, is a valuable and desirable collectors item. The inscription on the title page says:

For Charlie
with all best wishes
Francis Bacon

The second inscription, on page 114 underneath an image of Bacon's painting, says:

All my best wishes
and love
Francis Bacon

These inscriptions, especially one underneath an image of a painting, can be removed and framed separately. Alternatively, the book can be framed in a shadow box, displayed on a mantle shelf, or cherished and presented on a coffee table or bookshelf. The possibilities for exhibiting are numerous.
