81 Precious Books from Librairie Clavreuil and Stéphane Clavreuil Rare Books

81 Precious Books from Librairie Clavreuil and Stéphane Clavreuil Rare Books

Librairie Clavreuil of Paris, along with Stephane Clavreuil Rare Books of London, have combined to create a spectacular catalogue, 81 Livres Précieux (81 Precious Books). It features “Incunables, Sciences, Voyages, Littérature, Gastronomie 1473-1955.” That requires no translation for English speakers.

Do not expect much detail, or guaranteed accuracy from this review.
