Death on credit. Paris, Denoël et Steele, 1936. In-8, half black morocco with bands, set with a gilt fillet, smooth spine, gilt head, untrimmed, cover and spine, matching black morocco case (D. Montecot). First edition.
One of 110 numbered copies on vellum pur fil, this one one of the 25 hors commerce, not expurgated.
Only some of the off-price copies, such as this one, are in full text. All the other copies, including the large papers, have been censored by the publishers and the redacted passages appear in white, in this first edition as well as in the reprints that followed until Céline's death.
A very nice copy in a sober binding by Montecot.
It is accompanied by an autograph note signed by Céline: this unique copy to our unique doctor of unique people, to death to life, on a leaflet pasted to the second white endpaper.
Minor repair to the first white endpaper.
Dauphin & Fouché, 36A1.
