Alan that French army book looks a corker - despite a forward by Petain!
ReplyDeleteNeil
Corker indeed.
DeleteIt is 1935 and Petain’s infamy lies ahead so l am not too bothered. Probably my French isn’t up to it anyway.

It seems it's quite rare; the cheapest I've seen is €250 to a whopping £1997.96 on ABE books!

I am fortunate to have picked it up well outside your prices. It is old and battered like myself.
