AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptional and rare homogeneous collection of 93 bound volumes from publishers, published during the 1970s/1980s by the famous bibliophile houses Famot, François Beauval, and Rombaldi.

This monumental set brings together the greatest masterpieces of classical literature, historical novels, and major narratives of the 20th century. Among the prestigious signatures included in this lot are major works by Joseph Kessel (several volumes including “Terre d'amour et de feu”), F. Scott Fitzgerald (“The Great Gatsby”), Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (“One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich”), Jean Giono, Hervé Bazin, Sébastien Japrisot, Paul Guimard, or Alain Decaux.

Characteristics & Qualities of the set:

- Rigid display bindings in cream/beige imitation leather skivertex, adorned with gilded tooling and titles on the spines, topped with the collection’s logo.

- Exceptional condition: All volumes have been preserved under their original transparent protective plastic film. The bindings are immaculate, the gilding bright, and the top edges very clean. A rare level of care for a set of this magnitude.
- Very fresh interior, printed on luxury bouffant/wove paper, pleasant to leaf through.

Ideal for collectors of book club editions or to dress a large, timelessly prestigious library with style.
