MORAND, Paul. Tendres Stocks. With a preface by Marcel Proust. Paris, NRF, 1921. In-8 (21.5 x 17 cm), (5)-153-(3) pp. Sand-colored half-box with modern bands, smooth spine, author, title, and date , endpapers of chiffon paper with inclusions, gilt top, cover and spine preserved, under Rhodoïd with flaps and a light-colored wooden slipcase with box-style bevels [Alix] (very slight lateral oxidation on the paper of the cover but an excellent copy). Description: First edition. Paul Morand’s first collection of short stories. Published by the NRF in the postwar spirit, it is introduced by a famous and lengthy preface by Marcel Proust. A fine copy in a delicate modern binding by the Alix workshop. One of 100 reserved for NRF bibliophiles, reprinted on pure-fiber white laid paper. This one, No. LVI, was specially printed for Henri Sauvage (1873–1932), a French architect and interior designer of the Art Nouveau and Modern Movement, and an avid reader of Paul Morand, whose descriptions fueled his admiration for North American cities and his own style.
