Le grand sud

The first edition, of which there were no deluxe copies.
Spine faded, small worming on edges, two marginal creases on front cover.
Fine autograph inscription signed by A.D.G. to his friend the film-maker Jean-Pierre Richard (asterisk): "Pour l'immense Jean-Pierre Richard, ce grand sud calédonien qui n'est que le rejeton (un peu obèse) de nos mystères de New York, nos corsaires triplex, nos rabouins et nos chéri-Bibi d'auytrefois, avec l'amitié fraternelle de son bon jeune camarade. ADG Paris le 17 III 2003 ; astérisque : et pour Michèle et Antoine : c'est lui qui a exigé ce format." ["For the immense Jean-Pierre Richard, this great Caledonian southerner who is only the offspring (a bit obese) of our New York mysteries, our triplex corsairs, our rabouins and our beloved Bibi of yesteryear, with the fraternal friendship of his good young comrade. ADG Paris 17 III 2003; asterisk: and for Michèle and Antoine: he's the one who demanded this format."]
