Very beautiful binding executed by Jean Paul Miguet (1925-2019) one of the greatest French bookbinders of the 20th century.

From 1923 to 1931, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote many particularly touching letters to Renée de Saussine known as "Rinette". Three years his senior, Renée de Saussine was introduced to him by her brother Bertrand, a classmate of Antoine at the Lycée Saint-Louis. An affectionate friendship binds Antoine to Renée and spans the years. Sometimes, when he is far from her, he phones her. Finding her only rarely, he writes her many letters.
