Publication: Paris, Parigramme, 2002

Formatting: Square 8vo, pp. 94.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The original black cloth binding remains tight, square, and exceptionally clean, with sharp corners and no discernible shelf-wear. Internally, the book is pristine; the pages are bright, crisp, and entirely free from foxing, previous ownership markings, or creases, maintaining a firm and seemingly unread text block. The accompanying dust jacket is similarly well-preserved, retaining its vibrant monochromatic imagery without fading and exhibiting only the most trivial hints of edge-wear, entirely justifying the high grade.

Catalogue Note: First Edition. This volume is a striking photography monograph by notable Dutch photographer Liesbeth Passot-Kanbier, featuring text and acknowledgements presented bilingually in French and English.

While not exceptionally rare on the global market, finding a hardcover copy in such immaculate, well-preserved condition, complete with its crisp original dust jacket, is uncommonly nice.

A captivating photographic exploration of Paris's most iconic hilltop neighbourhood. Through the lens of Dutch photographer Liesbeth Passot-Kanbier, this monograph strips away the typical tourist clichés to reveal the intimate, everyday magic of Montmartre. From mist-shrouded views of the Sacré-Cœur to quiet cobblestone alleys, local characters, and legendary cabarets like Le Lapin Agile, these striking black-and-white images offer a deeply personal and atmospheric love letter to the historic bohemian quarter.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
