About This Item
Coulouma, France: Societe Anonyme des Caves et des Producteurs Reunis de Roquefort, 1956. Paperback. First edition of the "original English edition of this book", numerous illustrations (exceptional conception & coloring), No.3242 of a run of 5000 copies, 237p., fine presswork on lovely watermarked paperstock, softbound in 9.5x7 inch buff wraps titled in brown and black. Faint-ish dustsoil and faint irregular sunning, within expect a few flecks otherwise near-new, sound and unmarked (no ownerships, institutional slugs or marginal notes). Roquefort, it turns out, is pretty weird; the best is formed in cold mountainous caverns. Refrigeration? --still yummy. Laid in are the mailing label from the Societe' to Pasadena CA and a printed cover notice.
