New York: Touchstone Publishers Ltd., 1969. Book. Near Fine. Cloth. First Edition. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Gray linen, lettered and with facsimile front cover signature in black. Very slight thumbing to front blank following flyleaf, otherwise as issued. 89 pp., illus. throughout, reproducing Jansem's work from Lithographies (1954) through Cartes de Vouex (1958-68): Lithographies on pp. 7-40, numbered from 1 to 81, 3 to 6 on each page, followed by Pointes Seches, Les Soliloques du Pauvre, Le Spleen de Paris, Rinconete et Cortadillo, Oeuvres Poetiques de Villon, and Cartes de Voeux, also 3 to 6 per page. 150+ illus., some unnumbered. Color illus. dust jacket shows the slightest rubbing at head of spine, essentially as issued, now in archival mylar. Undated, with contents through 1968, thus providing an approximate date of publication. Lacking the (9) color lithographs included upon original issue in some copies (but evidently not all, or even most), and the binding shows absolutely no indication that any leaves or plates were ever removed, so we suspect that this copy is one of the variants that never contained the color plates. Very scarce..

About Saucony Book Shop

The Saucony Book Shop, located in the heart of scenic rural Berks County, epicenter of Pennsylvania German folk culture (our shop specialty), offers a full range of gently used, rare, and antiquarian books, with many volumes of scholarly merit and an unabashed emphasis on the quaint, the curious, and the utterly obscure. We make no attempt to be a general-service book shop. Our inventory is highly selective, individually chosen from among the hundreds of thousands of books to which we have access annually at auctions, library and estate sales, and through individual scouts and vendors. We do not handle material that does not meet our expectations in terms of condition or interest to our specialized, idiosyncratic customers. Despite maintaining a browsing inventory of more than 15,000 volumes, we have minimized our carbon footprint by maintaining our entire operation in a cozy ca. 1890 barn and lean-to adjacent to an historic creamery in rural Maxatawny Township. Our shop is available for browsing by appointment and occasionally, in temperate weather, by chance, so email or call ahead to peruse the eclectic selection gracing our shelves, or ask our ferociously over-read staff for recommendations. Selling antiquarian books of merit since 1981. Full search and appraisal services; always keenly interested in purchasing quality used books, whether by the piece or by the bushel. Thanks for reading about us! Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
