A beautiful and informative book

At first glance, this appears to be a coffee table volume and it could certainly be used for that purpose, but anyone interested in French literature, in anything French for that matter, will be caught by the beauty of this book and the information it imparts to the reader. It's a book one can (and will!) go back to again and again.
