GRACQ (Julien). Lettrines 2 .Paris: José Corti, [1974]. - In-8, 181 x 114: (3 ff. first white), 244 pp., (1 ff. white), printed cover. Jansenist burgundy box, smooth spine, golden head, untrimmed, cover and spine preserved, slipcase (modern binding). Original edition. "Literature in fragments, aphoristic, it is "a very free set, a mosaic of reading notes, reflections, memories", said (Gracq) in an interview. Very far from what the diarist's writing can be - no introspection or excerpts from works in progress or to come - the Lettrines come from notebooks kept from day to day" (Éditions José Corti). ONE OF THE 50 EXAMPLES OF HEADLINES NUMBERED ON HOLLAND VEGETABLE ( No 8). Back slightly past. A few defects of execution in the binding.
