The Count of Monte Cristo

Dumas, Alexandre

Edité par Folio Society, 2000

This edition being uber-scarce in the trade, being another sterling exemplar of the The Folio Society production standards, bound with patterned burgundy cloth over boards, gilt-lettered author name and title over black label to spine, sharply and distinctly, and with beautiful illustrated cloth covers. Top-stained in burgundy. Housed in a light burgundy paper-covered slipcase, lightly scuffed, that has done its job admirably. Introduced by John Mortimer and with fine, brilliant illustrations by Roman Pisarev. Stated Second Printing thus, after the original English translation of 1846. The Folio Society was founded in 1947 by Charles Ede, Christopher Sandford (of Golden Cockerel Press), and Alan Bott (founder of Pan Books), three presses that shared spaces and philosophies for a time until being incorporated in 1971 and then becoming an employee-owned trust in 2021. The Folio Society began as a membership-based book club but then expanded its range to publish multiple titles in fiction and non-fiction; science fiction and fantasy; biography and autobiography (from the publisher's web-site). xvi, 1-1016 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets. N° de réf. du vendeur 362813
