L'Étranger
[The Stranger]
tGallimard | Paris 1942| 11.5 x 19 cm| half brown morocco

Half brown morocco, spine in five compartments, lettered in gilt and dated at foot, marbled covers and endpapers, wrappers and spine well preserved, top edge gilt, case edged with brown morocco, binding signed by Alix.
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.
