Published by Librairie Charpentier et Fasquelle in 1925. Originally a softback, nicely rebound in 3/4 Leather boards. Overall the book is in VERY GOOD CONDITION. The leather boards have moderate to heavy corner wear, light to moderate edge wear. The main wear issue with the book is that the front board, while attached to the spine, is showing wear a small separation top and bottom of spine. It would do well to have a small professional reinforcement of the front board to the spine. It is also a bit worn where the back board meets the spine, but less so. Marble boards and matching marble endpapers. A previous owner bookplate affixed to front endpaper. No further markings in 215 clean and solidly bound pages.
On the book and author from the internet:
" 'Cyrano de Bergerac,' the most well known of Rostand's work, is a fictionalization of Cyrano de Bergerac's life, written in verse. The play was translated and performed numerous times, and is responsible for the introduction of the word panache into the English language. Edmond Rostand was a French poet and dramatist, associated with the movement of neo-romanticism."
