Limited Edition of 500 copies, this being no. 104. Quarto (12 1/2 x 8 in.). 24 ff., 28 explicit pochoir illustrations with extra suite in b&w. Half brown hand-grained morocco over marbled paper by M. Blin (stamp-signed), gilt-lettered spine, original wrappers preserved. Cocteau claimed that Radiguet (1903-1923), his one-time lover, could not have possibly written these verses (originally discovered in manuscript after Radiguet's death) celebrating the sexuality of teen-age girls, but after Cocteau's death Radiguet's family confirmned that René, indeed, wrote them. Renowned for his stylish verve, French Art Deco illustrator, designer, costumer, set decorator, graphic artist, and painter René Ranson (1891-1977) was a prolific book illustrator; he was celebrated and highly productive in all the arts he worked in. Included is a facsimile of Radiguet's poem, Fiancés de Treize Ans.Wrappers and title mod.-hvy. toned, a few leaves lightly so, otherwise an attactive, Very Good copy indeed of a book scarce in all editions. Pia 1385-86; Dutel III, 2594; Monod 9452.…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

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.
