BETTY

First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original burgundy cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Beverley Lebarrow illustrated dustwrapper. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the spine tips just a touch softened, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the bright original dustwrapper, which has a small corner crease to the front flap and just a hint of fading to the red titles on the spine. Not price clipped (£2.25 net to the front flap).

Translated from the French by Alastair Hamilton. The basis for the 1992 French film of the same name directed by Claude Chabrol, starring Marie Trintignant as Betty. (Hubin).
