Timbro di privata biblioteca. Un restauro alla cuffia superiore ma ottimo esemplare in barbe e a fogli chiusi. Prima edizione italiana (2° migliaio) di Pékin-Paris Automobile en Quatre-Vingt Jours (Parigi, 1907), partecipe resoconto di uno dei primissimi viaggi in automobile a lunga percorrenza, che, partendo da Pechino, toccò la Grande Muraglia, la Mongolia, il deserto di Gobi, la Siberia, la Russia, la Polonia, la Germania, il Belgio, la Francia, giungendo infine nella capitale francese dopo circa 16.000 chilometri di viaggio. Delle 25 vetture iscritte al raid solo cinque si presentarono alla partenza, date le difficoltà organizzative e di percorso della gara, e la prima a presentarsi al traguardo fu quella italiana, guidata da Scipione Borghese e Ettore Guizzardi, con, al loro seguito, il giornalista Luigi Barzini, che immortalò l'evento nel suo celebre volume "La metà del mondo vista da un'automobile". Il Du Taillis, scrittore e giornalista, era corrispondente del "Matin", per cui seguì la celebre corsa automobilistica. Italiano
