Amsterdam & Paris, No Publisher, 1787-1789. First edition, first impression. Text in French. A very good set, in contemporary paper bindings. 36 volumes as called for. A collection of 74 utopian, extraordinary and / or speculative journeys. Volumes one to 30 cover 'Imaginary Journeys' (subdivided into 'Romantic', 'Wonderful', 'Allegorical' and Amusing'), 31 and 32 covers 'Dreams and Visions', and the final volumes are 'Cabalistic'. Titles include Robinson Crusoe, The True Story of Lucien, Gulliver's Travels, Nicolas Klimius, and Apuleius' Metamorphoses. A fantastic collection. The set is pretty well preserved. I admit, I haven't collated it, but I have checked for plates and there appear to be some missing. Handwritten labels to the spines, and the wraps are all about an inch too short. Internally they've been kept pretty good but the edges are a little chipped and ragged, as expected. Some books have used paper from another book as the endpapers. Each volume has a collector's plate (US rocket scientist Frederick Ordway III) to the front inside cover. An important work and a rare opportunity to get a set in such a binding. Oh, and when you go hunting (diligently) around for comparable copies, you'll find some with 39 volumes. The last three are imposters and not part of the original set that Garnier put together. Welcome those three to your library at your own peril, they do not belong.
