[Cléry: Sergent Fulbert, 1995. Square small octavo. Printed wrapper over stiff handmade paper wrappers. Printed in red and black. Fine in publisher's box with pastepaper onlays on upper panel. Copy #62 of an unspecified number of copies of this typographic jeu d'esprit in tribute to Rabelais. The OCLC/Worldcat entry, based on the copy at the Bib. Sainte-Genevieve, calls for an edition of 59 copies on vélin de Rives, plus an unspecified number of copies hors commerce, and attributes the case to Marie-Christine Kréziak. A characteristic work by one of the most respected non- traditional French typographers/designers of his generation. According to some references, Sergent (1945 - 2011) produced well over 300 different titles from his press, including works by Beckett, Michaux, Aragon, Satie, etc, OCLC: 868886006.
