De la bamboula au Be-Bop

The first edition, of which there were no deluxe copies, a Service de Presse (advance) copy.
A small dampstain at foot of spine and light sunning at foot of rear board, complete with publisher's (advertising) slip.
Very precious autograph inscription dated and signed by Bernard Heuvelmans on the front endpaper: "A Boris Vian avec l'espoir qu'il aimera ce petit livre d'un jazz nourri de mystère, d'érotisme et d'humour. En toute sympathie" ["To Boris Vian with the hope that he will love this little book of jazz nourished by mystery, eroticism and humor. With all sympathy"].
