First American edition. First printing, with “first printing” statement.
The American translation of Gary’s first published book appeared fifteen years after its original publication — itself in English, but in London — and followed the publication and success of The Roots of Heaven, which is in fact mentioned on the dust jacket of this edition. A mark of quality, then, in the eyes of the American public.
A rare first printing.
