The underlying dark cloth binding remains firm, tight, and well-preserved. The text block is fundamentally clean with no significant foxing, though the untrimmed page edges naturally display mild age-toning and browning typical of the paper stock. The book's grade is largely dictated by the rare survival of its fragile marbled paper dust jacket, which does exhibit noticeable edge-wear, a chip to the spine head which exposes the binding beneath, and general age-darkening to the printed paper spine label. It remains a highly presentable and scarce complete copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"732\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is the signed, limited first English edition of Paul Morand's modernist collection \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"836\"\u003eOuvert la nuit\u003c\/i\u003e, translated from the original French by H.

The jacket was designed to match the marbled endpapers, and its survival, complete with the printed paper spine label, makes this a notable collector's copy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"270\"\u003eOpen All Night\u003c\/i\u003e captures the frantic, bohemian, and slightly melancholic nightlife of post-World War I Europe. Through a series of six interconnected stories, Morand offers a glittering and cynical tour of 1920s high society and the demimonde across the continent. Translated by Vyvyan Holland, the second son of Oscar Wilde, the collection stands as a quintessential modernist work, blending sharp social observation with a distinctive, avant-garde stylistic flair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55715163439443,"sku":"6696","price":60.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261027_113455.jpg?v=1793616331","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/open-all-night-paul-morand-1st-edition-limited","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
