Description:
Houghton Mifflin Co, 1954. Hardcover. Very Good. 9x6x1. Collectible first edition, first printing of Polish born author Alexandra Orme's debut novel, Paris Original, a tale of a poor receptionist at one of the greatest fashion houses in Paris mingling behind the scenes with world class designers. Bound in black cloth with pink lettering to front and spine panels. Pictorial dust jacket included with $3.50 price intact. Per Houghton Mifflin's practice of designating first editions, a date of publication (1954) is stated at the bottom of the title page. Precedes the 1955 UK first edition. Orme's first book, the non-fiction Come's the Comrade, was a huge success and a selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club, but her star soon faded, and Paris Original suffered through a small first printing and even smaller second printing. Thus its scarcity, especially in the original, stunningly fashionesque dust jacket. Includes 10 1/4" x 7" copy of original 1954 Birmingham News review… Read More
