This isn't written in stone, of course, and there are artists who abuse it, I'm sure. APs are typically the first prints pulled, so theoretically they are the best prints made. Usually, AP's are gifts from the artist and not sold. Also, remember that there are Printer's Proofs as well! Here is a website with info about limited editions: http://www.nativeamericanexpressions.net/naefolder/artinfo.html There are also many artists who refuse to do AP's because, as you said Trader Woody, "very dodgy dealings." -Mike
