HUGO,  Victor. NOTRE-DAME DE PARIS. Paris: Limited Editions Club 1930.
Two  quarto  volumes  (7-3/4" x 10-1/8") bound in  pink  Ingres  paper
wrappers.  Introduction  by Andrew Lang and illustrated with  woodcuts
by  Frans  Masereel.  George Macy noted that upon reception  of  their
copies,  many  members  felt  "cheated because the  two  volumes  were
paperbound.  We  had to bind in hard cases, American fashion, most  of
the  copies."  That  said, of the approximately 10-20 copies  we  have
handled  over  the  years, all but two were in  their  original  paper
wrappers,  as  is  this  copy, which is #185 of  1500  SIGNED  by  the
illustrator.  Mostly  unopened.  Rear  cover  of  second  volume  with
two-inch  closed  tear. Near Fine in glassine with tears. Lacking,  as
usual, the case.                                               $300.00
