L’AGREGATION D’UN NOM ET D’UN MESSIE. 1947. ISOU’S SECOND BOOK WITH A SIGNED DEDICATION.

Paris: Gallimard, 1947
23 x 16cm, 448pp. Card covers. First edition of the author’s second book (and one of only 3 titles by Isou ever published by Gallimard) which is as immodest as the title suggests. Isou was soon to end his relationship with the publishing house (a relationship which was always uneasy) and begin a series of self-published tomes. This copy has a short ink dedication from 1947 on the half-title. Pages all browned and slightly fragile but a very scarce early, key publication.
