First Edition. First edition. 145, [2] pp. Bound in publisher's illustrated boards with red cloth backstrip, paper title label. Fine in original acetate wrapper, slightly cloudy.

Mrabet, Choukri, and Layachi (initially writing as Driss Ben Hamed Charhadi) all wrote a number of books, most translated by Bowles.
