LA PORTE ETROITE

Paris: Artheme Fayard 'Le Livre de Demain'. Printed Yellow Card. Very Good. 18.5 Cms x 23.5 Cms. Morin-Jean. 125 pp. with 24 woodcuts, 3 publisher's fliers slipped in. Undated but presumably 1939 edition, confirmed by 1938 date on one of the fliers. Internally this could almost be rated 'mint' as it is completely unopened, Covers are sl.darkened at edges with a little edge-rubbing and a very sm. nick top sp., a yellow 'prix: cinq francs' label at bottom front cover. The slipped in fliers are: i. for an encyclopedic dictionary, ii. 'Le Saint a New York' by Leslie Charteris, iii. 'Comment Aima Louis XIV' by Paul Reboux - the latter two attractively colour printed and all, again, virtually mint. A particularly good copy of this nicely embellished edition of Gide's famous novel. Note: quoted non-UK shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range.
