Eugene Delacroix: Selected Letters 1813-1863 is a broad anthology spanning decades of personal correspondence of one of the foremost French Romantic artists. Black-and-white renditions of Delacroix's art illustrate the highly literate and fascinating pages of Delacroix's thoughts, ably edited and translated by Jean Stewart. Eugene Delacroix Selected Letters 1813-1863 is enhanced for the contemporary reader with an informative, extensive introduction by John Russell, and very highly recommended for academic reference collections and anyone with a keen interest in Delacroix's art and a dedicated desire to learn more about the man behind the masterpieces.

I don't know about other copies, but my copy is missing page 398 -- page 397 (recto) is there, but the (verso) is unprinted, which is a pity because the information I need is listed as being on that page. Maybe the publisher will read this and correct the error. Otherwise, of course, an excellent edition by wonderful Delacroix.
