Paris: Printed for the Author, and Sold by Edward W. Titus, 1928. First Edition. Near Fine. First edition. Number 952 of 1050 copies, privately printed for the author. Near Fine with slight wear and moderate foxing. In original glassine dust jacket, tattered, lacking the front flap. A fantastic copy. Barnes' novel based on a Parisian lesbian social circle centering around Natalie Clifford Barney's salon--and debatably either a loving satire or a bitter attack on such. Written in archaic Rabelaisian style, illustrated by the author with styled Elizabethan woodcuts. Messerli 3.
