Description:
Precious book 'Sébastien Roch' by Octave Mierbeau. Spectacular edition, from the year 1926. Written in French. It maintains in the same bookbinding, the original tapas and the back of the time, something rare and uncommon. On the page after the page, the numbering of the book appears. In this case, in the numbering appears a handwritten signature, instead of putting the number, has: H.C. reserved for Numa. H.C. we think it can mean: Hors Commerce (out of business). Explanation of numbering of books appears on page 403. We deduce that it is a rather rare specimen.
Binding made by Trinckvel, with its own stamp, on the upper left edge of the first page. Binding stitched in vintage Dutch, with leather corner.

Comments:
Because differences in tonalities between photos and reality are inevitable, it must be borne in mind that the color tones of the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the actual colors. It presents the own attrition of its time, as well as some stains. It has small damages. The data provided here are personal opinions not verified. SHIPMENTS ARE MADE MONDAY.
