The first edition, of which there were no deluxe copies, a Service de Presse (advance) copy.
Handsome copy.
Bradel binding in full decorated paper, black shagreen title-label, covers preserved, binding signed Goy & Vilaine.
Very precious signed autograph inscription from Jean Rostand to his friend and neighbor Boris Vian: "Pour Boris, bien amicalement. Jean Rostand." ["For Boris, with warm friendship. Jean Rostand."]
Jean Rostand, who was Boris Vian's neighbor in Ville d'Avray, introduced him to Gallimard and brought his works to Raymond Queneau's attention.
