About This Item
Everyman London, 1991 This is the very handsome first printing of the Balzac classic novel in the newly designed and beautifully produced David Campbell Everyman series. Beautiful typography, delightful scarlet cloth binding with elegant black title area on the spine, and with the titling itself in bright gilt. A silk marker tie, fine acid free paper, and a splendid protected jacket; this is an excellent series, with a relevant chronolgy, a useful bibliography, and an introduction specially written for this edition by Donald Adamson. It is easy to see why these serious and elegant editions are now collected in their own right. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. 1st Edition..
