Description
Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press (Bollingen Series XLV), 1977. Volume 1 is a Second Printing, Volumes 2-15 are First Printings. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 490, 323, 376, 195, 125, 167, 345, 463, 406, 650, 246, 261, 307, 622, and 423 pp. Small octavo sized volumes [20.5 cm]. All volumes bound in full unbleached white cloth with publisher's brown topstains and in the original printed dust jackets. Overall, this fifteen-volume set is in uniformly Very Good or better condition. All volumes are solid, squarely bound, and unmarked throughout. The set shows minor shelfwear, including very light scuffing to the spine ends. Jackets are occasionally rubbed or nicked, with rare very short tears at corners or folds; some occasional light sunning or toning is present. Notably, the paper in volume 13 is lightly toned and foxed, particularly at the endpapers and adjacent pages—a condition not present in the other volumes. Dust jackets for volumes 2–5, 7–12, and 14 are price-clipped, while jackets for volumes 1, 6, 13, and 15 remain unclipped. A nice set, complete in fifteen volumes. **Extra shipping charges will apply due to size and weight.**. The Collected Works of Paul Valery, published by Princeton University Press in the Bollingen Series (XLV), is the first comprehensive English edition of the French poet and philosopher's work.
