Deux sans Trois.
BETTENCOURT, Pierre. Deux sans Trois. Illustrated with 6 pochoirs by S. Hladky (Pierre Bettencourt). 8vo., bound in publisher's wrappers and slip case. Belle-Roche (Saint-Maurice-d'Ételan): par Notre-Dame-de-Gravenchon, Seine-Inférieure, l'Auteur, 1940.
A pristine copy of the first book written, printed, illustrated and published by the French printer-poet, Pierre Bettencourt. In this, his first book, he used pseudonyms for the names of the author, artist, printer and place of publication. The charming illustrations were executed in pochoir, and are, perhaps deliberately, reminiscent of the work of Serge Gladky. One of an edition of only 50 copies, all on Japon.
OCLC lists only the copies in The Bibliotheque Nationale and the Bibliotheque Doucet.
