Notes on Balzac's Lost Illusions This title may have come in two first Edition bindings. The Guide describes a type 6 giant binding, but there's also one that looks like an overgrown type 12 regular series with a blind-stamped ML on the front cover with most of the cover inscribed in a rectangle with two curved corners (style G6a). Barry Neavill reports that the binding for "Lost Illusions -- the only Giant published in spring 1967 -- appears to be a transitional binding between G6 and G7 that was used only for a single season." [Sun, 30 Jul 2006, ML Mailing List posting] No one has as yet reported seeing this title in the type 6 binding, but type G6a has been verified. First copyright page text: First Modern Library Edition First binding style: [likely] G6a (click here to see it) First inverse DJ number: [ none ] Dates in print: 1967 (Spring) - 1970 Toledano number: G097.1 Confirmed buckram sighting? no Genre: novel Original language: French Translator: Raine
