That is a rare find of great book. How’s your French? :)

If it’s indeed a first edition then there were only 600 printed. It’s probably worth $500-1,000 or more depending if it’s an early number. 1-20 or 21-100.

I read that book as a teenager in 1967 and it changed my life and a few that I lent it to. What’s as interesting as the book itself, is the story of the book and it’s author. I just learned there was a film made about her called The Writer of O. There was also a great piece about the book in The New Yorker in the early 90’s (93?) when the Pauline Reage revealed her true identity as Anne Desclos and why she she wrote it.

Enjoy you find!
