First edition, one of 1945 numbered copies on alfa d'Ecosse, the only printing with 5 Japon and 50 Corée. Handsome and moving autograph inscription from Jean Cocteau to Raymond Radiguet : " à mon cher Raymond, en échange des "Joues en feu" / son ami Jean / Juillet 1920." Spine slightly faded as usual, some marginal foxing. Ex libris Georges Crès onto the final free endpaper. This copy has a chemise and slipcase by Devauchelle in green paper boards, the spine of the chemise being navy blue morocco, endpapers lined with light green suede. An exceptional and very moving copy.
