Le Rappel a l'Ordre
Paris: Stock (1926).
Item #8374
A book of essays, which includes some new material and several revised versions of earlier works. There is a fictive mention of a "second edition" on the cover, but this is the first appearance of this collection.
Warmly inscribed on endpaper to Glenway Wescott and Monroe Wheeler, whom Cocteau had befriended while all were living at the Hotel Welcome in Villefranche sur Mer at this time. There is also a blind-stamp with the recipients name on the title page, along with their bookplate on inside cover. Wescott has made penned notations on the last endpaper.
Very good in original wrappers, light loss at head of spine, pages a bit yellowed. An important association copy of one of Cocteau's important texts.
Price: $625.00
