AI-assisted summary

   

Description from the seller

Full title: "La Voie libre, notes de tourisme syncopé [avec] Croquis de route"

First edition thus. A very nice, clean copy of this numbered, limited edition illustrated work.

Two volumes in stiff card folder. The only flaw with this copy is that it lacks the final slipcase. (We have included the broken parts of the slipcase, which could be rebuilt - but it is best to describe this copy as lacking the slipcase)!

Folder is clean and tidy, with embossed titles to the spine. No significant wear.

Inside, the two volumes: First "La Voie Libre." This includes the text, titles and limitations (this copy is one of the 339 copies on vélin de Lana from a total limitation of 500 copies.) Owner's signature to the front end paper. The first volume includes 12 full page lithographed plates. The second volume is "Croquis de Route" which is made up of the 41 b/w and coloured full page lithographs.

Very good - apart from the slipcase.

96. [41] pages. 25cm x 19.5cm.

Seller's Story

We are professional booksellers based in France, and have been members of ILAB for many years. We currently hold full membership of SLAM, as well as other organisations. We also sell at fairs and markets across Europe. We are often found at brocantes and marches, searching for books and prints. We are also always interested in acquiring new stock from individuals, so if you have books or prints to sell, do get in touch. We are proud to purchase biodegradable packaging and materials. Where possible, all of our book wrap and tape are compostable or re-cyclable. If you do receive any plastic bubble wrap from us - it is because we are re-using items we have received.
