The above edition is very rare. Maybe 1,000 copies were produced sometime around 1947 or 1948. It's Boris Vian's "I Spit on Your Graves" with illustrations by Jean Boullet, a friend of Vian's, and whose work is a combination of Jean Cocteau meets Tom of Finland.

Via TamTam Books I want to re-publish this edition with the illustrations as well as using a Boris Vian's introduction to his controversial novel. I am asking out to anyone who either has a copy of this limited edition wonder of a book or have contact to the Jean Boullet estate.

Also I am looking for a copy of the above book as well. Boullet did a book of drawings with commentary by Vian. Also if anyone has any inside information about the relationship between Vian and Boullet. Everyone knows that I am a mega-Vian fan, but I am also drawn towards Boullet's work. I saw some of his illustrations/artwork at the Boris Vian exhibition that took place in Paris.

The illustrations are very nice!
"I Spit on Your Graves" was a surprisingly good read. Definitely a Vian fan myself.
Looking forward to this new re-published version featuring Boullet's work.
