288pp. Blue publisher's cloth boards (strong but a little worn and faded). Lending sheet on front free endpaper, no other library markings, and else internally clean and neat barring mild and occasional spotting. In its original dust jacket, art work by Watkiss (lightly bumped and rubbed at edges, crumbled at spine ends). Dust jacket now in archival-quality mylar wrapper to protect & prolong the life of the jacket. It is not adhered to the book or to the dust jacket. An exquisite literary souffle, a Paris romance and a philanderer who is not quite a villain. The kind of book you love to read in a deck chair in the sun and then throw over your shoulder when you've finished. Amusing and naughty.
