About This Item
Paris: Crosby Continental Editions, 1932. First edition thus: the first English-language edition to be published in Paris. Number 7 in Careese Crosby's short-lived paperback series, "Crosby Continental Editions" published by her Black Sun Press. Translated from the French by Stuart Gilbert with an introduction by Andre Gide. 16mo cream-colored paperwraps with printed flaps; 189 pages. Very good to near fine with minor aging and wear; in the fragile, tattered, torn, and extensively tape-repaired (alas, to no avail) original green cellophane dust jacket. Relatively scarce edition and especially so in any semblance of the cellophane jacket. From the collection of sports writer Paul "Dr. Z" Zimmerman with his penciled notes on rear blank.
Synopsis
In this gripping novel, Saint-Exupéry tells about the brave men who piloted night mail planes from Patagonia, Chile, and Paraguay to Argentina in the early days of commercial aviation. Preface by André Gide. Translated by Stuart Gilbert.
