first edition on plain paper, printed stamp of press service at the foot of the second plate. Precious autograph signed by the author to Jean Tardieu, while he was still in exile in Denmark. Tiny black stings at the foot of the first board. Pleasant copy. It is noteworthy that Celine had already dedicated to Jean Tardieu a "Death to Credit" on Alfa paper in 1936 (see All Céline, 2, p.36)
