Henri MICHAUX. Un certain Plume. Paris, Éditions du Carrefour, 1930. In-12, plum-colored Jansenist snakeskin, box calf linings of the same shade, untrimmed, gilt head, cover and spine preserved, slipcase (Emmanuelle Cheney 2005). First edition, rare. “This collection contains thirty-four texts, arranged in five parts. Nine of them have never been reprinted” (Raymond Bellour in Michaux, Pléiade I, p. 1257). One of 30 copies on Pannekoek Holland paper, second paper (no. XXXIV). Some of the texts had appeared in the journal *Commerce* in 1930. More importantly, the book was the source of tensions with Gaston Gallimard, who, in a letter, reminded Michaux that he was contractually bound to his publishing house. (Imbert, no. 43.)
