1952Best.-Nr. gb927Le club du livre du mois Cartonnage d'éditeur 1952 "Deuxième et rare édition numérotée publiée au club du livre du mois en 1952, 6 ans après la première publication en France, chez Flammarion, de ce prix Pulitzer, premier roman de l'auteur de Colorado Saga, Hawaï, Alaska pour n'en cité que trois de plus. Au début des années 50 les reliures des ouvrages du Club du livre du mois sont décorés en autre par Alexis Keunen peintre surréaliste Belge. Il a donc effectué pour cet ouvrage le décor de la reliure ainsi que le frontispice. Exemplaire numéroté 625. Le tirage total n'est pas annoncé. Fin 1952 les tirages étaient souvent de 3000 exemplaires. Compte tenu de la rareté de ce titre on peut imaginer que le tirage n'a peut-être pas dépassé les 1000 exemplaires ou qu'il ne s'est pas vendu. Tête de chapitre, cul de lampe. Le club du livre du mois a été créé par Claude Tchou en 1950 quatre ans après le ""club français du livre"" ; très bon état. Livraison a domicile (La Poste) ou en Mondial Relay sur simple demande."
