[Rarebooks] FS: SIGNED Limited St. Exupery THE LITTLE PRINCE

[Charles Agvent]

SAINT-EXUPERY, Antoine de. THE LITTLE PRINCE. New York: Reynal & 
Hitchcock, (1943). First Edition. This is copy #348 of 525 numbered 
copies SIGNED by the author on the tipped-in limitation page. The 
American edition appeared before the French or English editions and is 
essentially the only way to obtain a signed edition of this book as the 
author was assigned to fly with the French Free Air Force shortly before 
publication and went missing about a year later while on a mission. This 
special issue of one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century 
is, consequently, one of the most desired limited editions and does not 
come often upon the marketplace. The dustwrapper on this copy was likely 
supplied from the trade edition as it is not numbered on the spine. This 
copy is clean and bright with virtually no wear but for some soiling to 
the endpapers and minor bumps to the corners. About Fine in a close to 
Fine dustwrapper with a couple of small stains to the spine.

THE LITTLE PRINCE is both the most-read and most-translated book in the 
French language and was voted the best book of the 20th century in 
France. (#019599)        $18,000
