[Paris], Imprime? sous le manteau et ne se vend nulle parts, [Frans de Geetere], MCMXVIII i.e. 1928. £1,000.00 Glacine slightly nicked and worn with patination, top edge dusty; others with endemic browning, a rectangle of offsetting on front free endpaper from clipping. A crisp clean copy. Rare, one copy only at auction (this one) for about four decades (searched with ABPC) although there may be others in the rather more opaque French trade (although this edition was not present in Deburaux's Perceau sale of 2007). Dutel 2545, Pauvert I, 474, Perceau 35-17 (this copy), Pia 1465. Provenance: Louis Perceau's copy, a founding father of modern erotic bibliography, identifiable with his characteristic holograph additions to the spine and a note on the front endpaper identifying the artist, from his own Bibliothe?que and therefore the one used for his great bibliography. Pia notes that the erroneous publication date of 1918 was down to a typographer's error that is unlike most erotic books printed as the French say ?sous le manteau' (under the cloak) and sold as the English would say ?under the counter' where the year is often camouflaged along with everything else. The bibliographer considered it to be 'Un des grands classiques de la librairie sous le manteau' , the ?aquarelle' seems to be a proof of the frontispiece heightened with watercolour. 219013.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
