Description:
12mo (7 3/8 x 5 1/4 inches; 188 x 131 mm), 103, [3] pages, in printed cream wrappers over heavy card stock (soft cover).Actor Charles Boyer's copy of Jean Genet's startling play about three prisoners in the same cell. One of only 60 hors commerce copies, comprising the entire edition, on Lana de Docelles paper. (Eight of the 60 copies were numbered. Ours is an unnumbered copy.) The justification page states: "Exemplaire de Monsieur CHARLES BOYER." (See photo). Text in French.
Haute Surveillance [Deathwatch] was Jean Genet's earliest play and was first performed in Paris in 1949. As drama critic Martin Esslin notes in "The Theatre of the Absurd," the play "is largely a dramatized form of the type of story [Genet] tells in his lyrical narratives about the lives of criminals and convicts."
CONDITION: Heavy age toning to the wrappers, far less so internally. Numerous pages are unopened along the top edges. A Very Good copy.

Description:
Presumed first edition, printed by Boyveau in Paris; Siegle in London. Only 1 copy in OCLC, dated 1881. 12mo, 125pp. A book of useful phrases for conducting business and travel, geared toward the native French speaker, with the bulk of the text printed simultaneously in English on facing pages. Contains trade-specific scenarios and vocabulary. Quarter leather with marbled boards, in Near Fine condition with minor shelfwear and a hint of foxing throughout. Based on the style of binding and paper, we suspect the volume to have been custom-bound by its owner, Bousquet, whose signature appears on both the pastedown and the half-title page—else clean and unmarked. Rare volume in excellent condition.
