Bound in a book, a piece of history

A find most bookdealers would love. A limited edition to 60 copies of a book but gone unnoticed for many years an original letter bound in from Albert Camus to Jean Paul Sartre. The letter throws in to confusion reports in the past that the two were not friends. The letter using a "pet" name for Simone de  Beauvoir that only the friends of Jean Paul knew and used and the letter itself in very friendly terms. The letter sadly is not dated but probably was written about the period in 1948


La lettre de Camus a Sartre sera présentée dans le cadre de l'exposition "Camus de Tipasa à Lourmarin", organisée du 3 au 8 septembre à Lourmarin pour le centenaire de la naissance de l'écrivain philosophe.
