First edition, of which there were no deluxe copies. Signed autograph inscription from Jacques Derrida to Joseph Joliet, a former student of Derrida who became a very close friend of the philosopher. Very attentive to Joliet's writing, Derrida would write the preface to his novel: "L'enfant au chien assis" and support him through difficult periods (cf. Derrida by Benoit Peeters). Spine very lightly sunned, handsome copy.
