(London: Gaberbocchus Press 1958). Publisher's yellow boards with red spine lettering. Offsetting/tanning to both sets of end-papers otherwise a VG+ copy in an age-darkened attractive like D/W. A collection of 99 retellings of the same story about a minor brwal on a Paris bus. Each told in a different style to absurd effect. Translated from the original French by Barbara Wright and with a preface by her. A real literary oddity and seemingly a scarce book in first edition format. The first translation of Raymond Queneau's 'untranslatable' Exercices de Style. Seller Inventory # 355490717551
