Editions Balzac

First edition, one of 200 numbered copies on pure laid paper, the only deluxe copies.
Endpapers lightly and entirely shaded, otherwise handsome full-margined copy.

Complete first edition in 9 fascicles of this literary review with collaborationist allegiance.
Contributions by P. Drieu la Rochelle, J. Anouilh, A. Fraigneau, G. Blond, R. Brasillach, L. Rebatet, R. Héron de Villefosse, J. de La Varende, M. Jouhandeau, J. Chardonne, A. de Chateaubriant, M. Mohrt, M. Aymé, K. Epting, P. Fort, L. Combelle...
Small lack to foot of spine of No. 1, some foxing on most covers, small mark to head of front cover of second fascicle.
Handsome set considering the very poor quality of this wartime paper.

First edition of which there were no large paper copies, one advance (service de presse) copy.
Good copy, given the very bad quality of this paper from war period.
