About This Item
E. P. Dutton and Company, 1956. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good DJ. First American printing, near fine hardcover shows just a touch of soil to covers and page edges, in very good + dust jacket (price at flap) that shows edge wear that includes bit of wrinkling and couple of very short closed tears and corner wrinkle to front flap. 128 pages. Still a pleasing copy of this second novel from the French author of Bonjour Tristesse translated by Anne Green.
