first edition Hardcover
1930 · Paris
by Berthelot, Andre
Paris: Payot, 1930. Hardcover. 426p., maps as called for, all fold out, all presswork clear, none damaged save for a half-inch tear at the stub of the color item stubbed-in at rear, this a really superb map with several onlay colors. Book, or this exemplar anyway, originated as a paperback and was hardbound (expertly) in Hong Kong by one Sam Ying, his odd seller's fiche on the pastedown. Unfortunately, Sam left out the printed wraps, otherwise we have no objections. Sound copy, with a little abrasion along the joint-lines, reasonably good spine-titlings and -rulings, clean and unmarked within with a touch of foxing, a very good copy. Bibliotheque Geographique.
