AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Jules Verne. Around the World in Eighty Days.

Chez Hetzel et Cie, Paris, no date [1872], duodecimo (12 x 18 cm), 4 pp., 312 pp., complete.

Contemporary binding in dark green half-sheepskin, smooth spine decorated with gilt rules.

First edition, first issue, with all the characteristics described by Piero Gondolo della Riva and Bottin: the printer is Gauthiers-Villars (Paris); pages 1, 308, and 309 are unnumbered; and the number 1124-72 appears on the verso of the half-title and at the foot of page 312. In addition, the title page does not bear the mention of the French Academy Prize found on the great majority of copies. (Reference: Bibliographie analytique de toutes les oeuvres de Jules Verne by Piero Gondolo della Riva, Volume I, page 39, and Bibliographie des éditions de Jules Verne, page 545.)

Title page slightly stuck along the left margin; rare foxing; otherwise a handsome copy in a contemporary binding.

Free shipping, very securely packaged, by Colissimo registered mail within France and DHL worldwide, with insurance included.
