First edition in French, of which there were no deluxe copies. Spine very lightly yellowed and wrinkled. Rare autograph inscription signed by Tom Wolfe to a man named Bruno. Below the autograph inscription, in the lower right corner of the front free endpaper, a date and place have been added by the dedicatee in black ballpoint pen: Paris, Hôtel Ritz 1/6/99, probably the place and date where the inscription was written.
