Early bookseller's ink stamp on front flyleaf (Kleinteich's, Brooklyn). Housed in custom-made cloth folder and quarter red morocco slipcase with raised bands and gilt lettering on spine.

BAL's "A" wraps with the list on the inside of the front wrap beginning with number 665. According to records found by BAL, there were reputedly only eight copies of the first state bound in cloth.

First published in 1881, "Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard" was the landmark first novel by Anatole France. Hearn's introduction is a passionate testimonial to the importance of the book and its author in modern literature. BAL 7919.
