Preface by Jean Toulet.
A gathering of 44 bindings exhibited in October 1982, on texts ranging from a 1525 Italian edition to illustrated books by Bellmer, alongside works by Raymond Roussel, Tristan Tzara, René Char, Franz Kafka, Henri Michaux, Paul Éluard and Georges Bataille: “objects of pleasure for happy dilettantes, restoring a clear and sometimes forgotten meaning to that honorable and unpunished vice which, like reading, is the collecting of books” (Jean Toulet, “Avant-propos”).
