Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary, Provincial Morals. London: The Folio Society, 2020. Limited Edition numbered 676 out of 750 numbered copies. Signed by translator Adam Thorpe, introducer Karl Ove Knausgård and artist Nushka. With colour print.

Translated by Adam Thorpe, introduced by Karl Ove Knausgård, paintings by Nushka. 280 × 187 × 39 mm. Pp. [1–2], [i–iv] v–xxiii [xxiv–xxvi], [1–4] 5–306 [307– 308]: [10] leaves of colour plates (facing pp. [iii], 52, 85, 116, 148, 196, 213, 229, 252 and 277). Type: Galliard with Garamond for display and Carré Noir for dropped capitals. Printed and bound by Graphicom in full Douppion silk blocked in gold and printed with an illustration by Nushka. Gilded top edge. Pale blue endleaves. Pale blue slip case. The tipped-in edition statement is letterpress printed and reads in part ‘limited to 750 copies, signed by the translator, the introducer and the artist and 25 lettered copies hors de commerce’. Loosely inserted is a colour print with a further illustration contained in a protective pale gold paper wallet. 

A fine book with pages clean and tightly bound, with just a few shallow silk pulls, as all copies of this edition seem to have. In like slipcase with virtually no wear. Complete with the colour print in its protective wallet. Beautifully complemented by Fanny Nushka's paintings, this is, in our humble opinion, one of Folio Society's truly special limited editions.
