It struck me that the lead did not always reflect what is in the body of the article and included material that did not appear later. In addition the publication section was too detailed for an encyclopaedia. I have an idea that User:Chiswick Chap will wish to discuss these edits. Sweetpool50 ( talk) 12:03, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
OK, I've revisited the article. I've shortened the lead slightly, but 3 paras is as per MoS and looking at it now, it certainly isn't excessive. The Background section is brief, relevant, and proportionate (and acceptable to the GA reviewer). There is no reason not to mention Publication and Illustration briefly in a book article, so I've restored much of these. Without the named sections, the 'Book' coverage became strikingly unbalanced: it is plainly sensible to cover 'the main aspects' of a topic, and indeed this is mandated.
