A second volume later appeared. All text in French with a brief introduction and an index to topics. Leatherbound edition with archival quality fine paper, in full dustjacket, and yellow ribbon bookmark. Pléïade editions are the definitive French-language editions of French and international literary texts, for americans the nearest equivalent would be the Library of America editions of classic works (similar paper and quality, although the LoA titles are clothbound rather than leatherbound). CONDITION: Slimline leatherbound omnibus edition. Wear to corners and the head and tail of the spine. Paper jacket over red-brown leather covers. Paper jacket shows some wear and chipping at the extremities, particularly at the head of the spine, it is now protected in a mylar brodart cover. Front hinge has split and been repaired with binding tape, otherwise, contents very good overall. Contents appear age-toned but unmarked save for earlier price marking on the IFEP.
