A readable classic with a handsome period presence.
The expression ‘25th thousand’ indicates that the publisher had reached the printing tranche around the twenty-five-thousand-copy mark. It is not a numbered or limited edition.
The volume ends on page 245 and retains the Plon printer’s leaf dated 1928. The private inscription records a Christmas gift to Suzy in 1928 and is not by the author.
