L'étranger [The Outsider]
Gallimard, Paris 1942, 11.5 x 19 cm, half brown morocco

This first edition of L'Étranger was printed on April 12, 1942, with a print run of 4 400 copies,
divided into eight notional “editions” of 550 copies. Thus, most of the copies have a false statement of the second to eighth edition on their lower cover.
