About This Item
Editions B. Arthaud, Grenoble, 1929. Later Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. GAUTHIEZ, PIERRE. Paris, Grenoble: Editions B. Arthaud, 1979. Octavo, pp. 220, 6 (notes, ads), boards illustrated with a maroon and silver abstract design quarter-bound in navy cloth with maroon morocco labels on spine, illustrated with fine gravures in text and on plates, top edge silver, text in French. This book is commonly found as a paperback, and the original paper cover created by Paul Leroy is preserved here. It is unknown to me who did this binding, which is attractive even though rubbed at extremities and discolored in spots.
