A copy of Portée de Chats (Paris, 1958) was donated to the store last week. Siné was Maurice Sinet (1928–2016), a political cartoonist who worked for the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. *
I priced it at $10, walked out to the Books, and a customer bought it right out of my hand.
(Shame: reading further in his Wikipedia page, I see he was fired for anti-Semitism.)
I would have bought it right out of your hands too! The cat with the musical whiskers is great!

MICHAEL: Oh, dear--I didn't read that far down---I added a line to the post.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
You get the coolest donations.
ReplyDeleteSTEVE: We do, sometimes! . . .But there are one thousand water-stained romance books to every amazing donated book.
