This copy has the "18 francs" price printed (NOT overstamped -- please see scan) to rear wrap, where we are also advised "Not to be sold in the U.S.A. or U.K." 1959 is the only (and thus the latest) date showing to copyright page (again, see scan), and the final printed page (unnumbered pg. 227) states "Printed by S.I.P., Montreuil, France, in July, 1959" (see scan.) So, the franc having been revalued in 1960, this is a later printing than those printed in 1959 with "Francs 1500" to rear wrap, but not as late as the subsequent printings which bear to final page the legend "Imprimerie Croutzet, June 1965" (which is absent, here.) Whether this copy actually printed late in 1959 or somewhat later we're not sure; we date our listing "1960" to be conservative. Condition "very good" with single reading crease to spine and a banged bottom spine corner which shows some rub. Totals 226 pp. Reduced from $320.
