Lyon's location in central France at the confluence of two major rivers the Rhone and Saone helped to establish the city as a trading center and an ideal location for trade fairs. By the late fifteenth century fairs produced by Italian merchants made Lyon the banking center of France. Given its economic importance and the jealousy of other cities and on occasion kings of France the city was careful to record and assert its rights. As much a political statement as it a legal handbook the Privileges is a compilation of laws orders privileges and other legislation granted to the fair of Lyon from 1349 to 1563.

NOISBN . ex-rental library book Guild Libraries Hollywood with attendant markings rubber-stamped terms on ffep a bunch of check-out dates on rear fep shelfworn with a bit of fraying at spine ends; the jacket is still attractive despite a few deprecations including tape-staining from internal repairs to rear panel an orange label remnant covering the bottom 2 inches of the spine a small chunk torn out of the bottom corner of the rear flap and a surface-scrape to the front panel that's somewhat obscured by the jacket design. Suspense novel set mostly in Monterey California about a newly-married woman coping with the in-laws from hell. Even before her baby was born "Hilda had already realized there was something wrong in the senior Trentons' household. And she slowly grew to understand what it was first in amazement then in anger finally in terror as the Trenton family closed in on her on her marriage on her child!" Yikes. The author's previous novel "The Frightened Child" was filmed by 20th Century-Fox as THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL 1951; this one I guess was deemed a little too creepy for screen treatment.
