First thus. Original card covers with striking cover design by John Sewell. In good condition. Plasticated covers (as published) puckering a little as usual. Light signs of wear and age. Clean and tight. Published by the charismatic John Calder who, after initially publishing translations of European and Russian classics, introduced a British readership to some of the best writing from Europe, including the work of Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco and Marguerite Duras and many of the most important avant-garde writers of the mid 20th century. Cover design by John Sewell - key figure in British graphic design.
