Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). Small 8vo. 225pp. Perfect-bound lettered card wrappers, lightly marked and dust soiled with a touch of corner-creasing. Illustrated with two maps, a frontispiece drawing and seven further Man Ray drawings. Opens with a 53-page section on 'Restaurants of Elegance', followed by sections on 'Inexpensive Restaurants', 'Foreign Restaurants' and 'Bars', these parts humorously printed on lesser quality paperstock, plus a 44-page glossary of French translations. A very good copy of this quite uncommon personal selection of eateries penned by the noted Left Bank expatriate, and nicely enhanced by the Man Ray drawings.
