We offer this title as one of a collection of ten limited edition copies
of Paul Valéry titles, most of great rarity, some extraordinarily so, in
overall astounding condition, together with a copy of the standard bibliography.
While we have priced this and the other titles individually in our individual
listings, we will give strong preference to preserving the group intact.
