This book was published in 1994 by Paper Tiger, an imprint of the British company Dragon's World. It shows 28 of Boris's paintings in a larger format than usual, being 28 x 42 cm in size. The images are not full-bleed, but have borders so that one could, in fact, disassemble the book and frame them. It begins with a photograph of Boris holding a rather beautiful sword, and has some discussion of Boris and his work. Thumbnails of the images are shown below.

The book cover has gone through several changes over the years: only one of the changes is shown above. In addition, the recent versions are smaller in size (you can see that the two covers have different proportions, for example) so if you intend to get a copy of the book you might want to obtain an earlier edition.
