This Book
Why list such a thing? well despite being a pirate from the States (the binding is certainly in one), this is a very nicely produced book, good paper good print and a faithful textual copy on the original Liseux. However probably more of a privateer, than an honest pirate, as when this book unfurls its true colours, we have coloured illustrations. And very nice they are too.
