196961174bdCleveland: The World Publishing Company 1969. First American Edition. Oblong octavo full-color illus. boards hardcover full-color illus. endpapers unpaginated 26 pp. Fine in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: When the miller died he left nothing at all to his youngest son except -- of all things -- a cat. Unhappy with his meader lot the boy despaired of ever earning a livelihood for himself. But to his surprise the cat spoke up and offered to help him in return for only a sack and a pair of boots. With these he proposed to seek his young master’s fortune. And from his fist visit to the king bearing a plump white rabbit as a gift to the mysterious disappearance of the fearsome ogre Puss proved himself to be the most ingenious of cats and a treasure indeed. Charles Perrault first set down this delctable tale in 1697; its rollicking humor made it an instant and perennial favorite. Now at last if finds its perfect expression in a translation which follows closely PErrault’s original version and in Barry Wilkinson’s warm and gleeful illustrations which reinterpret for today’s children the vitality and beauty of seventeenth-century France in striking design and glowing stained-glass colors.

19486179Paris: Maurice Darantiere 1948. Very Good/Remboîtage that is a newer book bound in an older binding of an imperfect copy of Charles Perrault's classic tale in a prestige binding dating from the turn of the century.

Text in English French and German. "An important component in Dominique Perrault's architecture is the deliberate use of materials. Textures colors reflections and tactile qualities impart to the purity even austerity of his simple monumental buildings a special note of distinction. This volume documents for the first time his collaboration with Gaelle Lauriot-Prevost in furniture and lamp design as well as wall hangings - the area where Perrault's sense of materials is most tangible. The complete interior design for the Bibliotheque nationale de France - the woven metal wall hangings the various book shelves reading tables chairs reception areas research alcoves etc. as well as lamps- is the focus of this book. Other design products and thefirst application of woven metal hangings in the departmental archives in Laval 1992 are also shown. Finally the volume provides insight into the creative design process through sketches preliminary studies photographs documenting various production phases and the actual manufacturing process." -website description.
