Simenon's Paris - Hardcover

Simenon's Paris

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. Frederick Franck (illustrator). Text consists of extracts from Simenon translated to English in 1970. Pages edges are sunned, this includes about a quarter inch of blue cloth boards top, bottom and foredge as well as interior. In the case of the boards (though masked by the DJ) and the endpapers this yellowing is visible. In the case of the interior text it is quite faint and I had to take it too full sunlight to inspect it. The binding is square with no separation gaps but not at tight as new from being gently read. Bottom edges of boards and corners are rubbed but the rest of the edges and faces are nice and crisp, as is the text. The DJ artwork front, back and spine panels have minimal wear, bright ant vivid, however all the edges are in a bad state: about a half inch at both ends of spine, top and bottom edges are frayed, creased, half a dozen tears, curling outward and beginning to seriously chip on corners. 12.25 x 8.25 inches / 21,2 x 31 cm., profusely illustrated with drawings by Frederick Franck. 191 pages. Collectible and attractive if DJ is smoothed out with a protective transparent book cover. Book. Artikel-Nr. 16289
