Paris
The Emperor of Paris by C.S. Richardson, published by Doubleday Canada in 2012. This is the first-edition, first-printing Canadian hardcover with dust jacket, identified by ISBN 9780385670906 and the complete number line ending in 1.
Richardson’s literary historical novel follows an unlikely connection between an illiterate Parisian baker and a Louvre art restorer, with books, paintings, storytelling and coincidence linking their lives in early-20th-century Paris. The novel was longlisted for the 2012 Scotiabank Giller Prize.
This copy is signed and personally inscribed by C.S. Richardson on the title page. The inscription is dated 15.8.12 and appears to be addressed to Ruthie; it is a personalized inscription rather than a flat signature.
Used condition with page toning and a little moisture exposure as disclosed by the seller. Moisture-related staining, discoloration and waviness are visible on the lower portion of the copyright page, and the dust jacket shows minor edge and corner wear. Please review the photographs closely for the inscription and representative condition details.
