These copies were printed in the same year as Chemin de France (the last title to appear in multiple colors). As is the case 95 times out of 100, the golds on the spine are fully oxidized, and those on the cover only partially so. On the other hand, the hardcovers and book bodies here are extremely fresh! A rare and surprising "pair", but perfect in its kind, especially in this shade!
