OLYMPIA PRESS PARIS
In original green card covers, p.p. 200, printed by Impr.S.I.P. Montreuil in March 1956, original price of Francs 900 on back cover. A rare title though this one does turn up, but not in this condition, the images do not do it justice, clearly a tight unread copy and of collection quality. Priced on quality over rarity.I decided to list this one rather than another on the flip of a coin, the other one stays in my personal collection.

OLYMPIA PRESS PARIS
In original green card covers, p.p. 251, printed by Impr.S.I.P. Montreuil in June 1956, small scratch mark through Francs 900 on the back cover, original price still visible. An extremely rare title in the series and in very good condition. See images and description. One of 9 titles from this Olympia writer. Very seldom seen in any condition, even rarer in original covers an elusive title. The last time I listed this title on eBay someone complained and it was pulled, just goes to show the battle against censorship still goes on 60 years later. If you don’t have it you should buy it. Cant be many more out there.
