About This Item
New York: Reynal & Hitchcock, (1942). First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in glassine and a Near Fine slipcase with sunning to the outer edges. Bernard Lamotte. Bound in publisher's blue leather-backed boards. Copy #198 of 500 numbered copies SIGNED by the author and the illustrator Bernard Lamotte. Saint-Exupery is best known, of course, for writing THE LITTLE PRINCE. Usually found without the slipcase and with severe rubbing to the spine, this copy has no rubbing to the spine but does have some minor chipping to the spine tips and some soiling to the covers. What appears to be original glassine protects the book. Of the thirty or so copies we have seen or handled over the years, this is the first we have encountered with a glassine cover.
