About This Item
N Y: Grove Press, 1986. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 178 pages. Text block cracked in middle, but pages tight and intact. First Evergreen edition. Facsimile of the 1906 edition: ""Originally printed for private circulation in a limited edition of one hundred and fifty copies only, 1906. Paris, at the turn of the century, was the most voluptuous city of its time - and perhaps of all time. From the banks of the Seine to the steep inclines of Montmarte, from the Latin Quarter to l'Etoile, from the teeming Halles to the flagellants of the Rue Clauzel, the Edwardian author of this delightful memoir takes the reader on a leisurely tour of the City of Light - or at least those parts of it devoted to the art of love and pleasure..""
