Andrew Nicholson, the main editor of the book, is son of Ben Nicholson, and grandson of William. He has therefore had access to paintings and other works of art by William, and to Nicholson family papers, that are not available to the general public. He was also responsible for the publication of Unknown Colour, which featured the work of his mother, Winifred Nicholson, Ben's first wife, in a similar fashion: it was extremely well reviewed.
'It is a beautiful book ... a valuable addition to the recorded history of 20th-century British art' Spectator
