350 francs isn't bad

[@37Dionysos]

The color's covers are supposed to evoke "the white islands in the blue sea" of Greece (Richard Ellmann's biography "James Joyce").

[@PaginasLetea]

Also evokes the colors of Gerty MacDowell panties

[@barrymoore4470]

I wonder if this same evocation applies to the Greek flag, after which scholars say the cover's colors were modeled.

[@37Dionysos]

@@barrymoore4470 Yep

[@liamg2271]

That will be worth 750K within 10-15 years. If you are lucky enough to have that copy do not sell it unless you are homeless.

[@guitaoist]

I have one, if you buy a nice drink I can give it to you.

[@petervysohlid4878]

Has not been read.So whats the damn point

[@barrymoore4470]

It means the copy is in better condition, hence more valuable in terms of collecting and investment, than it would otherwise be.

[@timothyoreilly6571]

neat

[@christiana8820]

Why is he even touching this book without gloves on??????

[@rainblaze.]

They don't use gloves, it desensitises the fingers making tarring more of a risk
