Type "C" edition published the same year as the original, comprising 248, 242, 231, 257 pp. (titles and mastheads included in the pagination). After the success of the first edition (type "A") of the famous epistolary novel (the 2000 copies printed in April 1782 were sold out in a month), the bookseller Durand published other editions, including this third one. "Until recently, this edition was wrongly considered to be the second original [...]. We believe that this third publication is legitimate [...]. It should be noted that, in this fine C edition, the errors pointed out in A have been corrected." (Max Brun, Bibliographie des éditions des Liaisons dangereuses portant le millésime 1782, 1963). Rubbed at the headpieces and corners, small leather losses to the title and tomaison pieces of the 2nd volume, rare small marginal tears not affecting the text, otherwise a good copy virtually free of staining.
