At 1568 pages, published by Librairie A. Hatier in Paris in 1947 (immediately post-war), this hefty volume contains excerpts from celebrated French texts starting in the middle ages to the mid 20th century, with annotations and brief introductions. All in French.
The binding is intact and in excellent shape, and although there is some foxing, the pages are also in great shape, with no tears or the like.

Very charming book.
