L'Assommoir
Emile Zola
Charpentier, Paris · 1884
First Edition Thus. Nice early edition of this famous novel. First edition was 1877; this copy from 1884 states centieme mille [100th Thousand] on title page.
Contemporary scarlet cloth elaborately decoated and lettered in gilt; light marbling to page edges. Original covers not preserved. Very slight rubbing at head and tail of spine else clean and bright.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
