About This Item
Librairie de Paris, Fermin-Didot Cie, Paris, n.d. Very Good. French language; 377 p., immaculate and without notations or other writing anywhere--not ex-lib., no former owner's name--but age-toned and slightly creased at some edges; frontis. engraving of Voltaire ; binding firm; very elegant Art-Deco boards in tonalities of green and gray, with green cloth corners and spine--gilt lettering and ornamentation on gray patch on spine. Binding helps date book as this style was prevalent between WWI and WWII--volume itself appears to be a reprint of the 19th c. edition. Ribbon bookmark. 12mo. Volume beautifully preserved from fading and wear by plastic cover, itself now wearing out--where there is a large open tear, the board in that area has received a scarcely discernible rub. Also, because the cover was affixed with scotch tape there are marks on the paste downs.
