Paris: Presses Universitaires de France, 1972. 1st Ed . Paperback. VG-. 13.5 Cm x 21.5 Cm. 243 pp., this would be VG or better were it not for the fact that someone has sealed the covers in protective plastic, which they have fixed with sellotape-type tape, this has resulted in brown rectangular lines being offset to facing half-title and rear endpaper which are also visible on the inner sides of these leaves. Clean, tight & unworn otherwise. This is identical in all respects to my other available copy except that it is a genuine 1st ed., not 4th impression.
