The book presented here features an illustrated cover typical of mid-20th century French thrillers, with bold colors and an evocative scene: a woman in the foreground, in profile, holding a revolver, and a man in the background, in a tense posture. The vintage illustration, signed, highlights the retro and dramatic atmosphere characteristic of this genre of popular literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover is dominated by a midnight blue background, enhanced by the title in red letters \"Du plomb dans les tripes\". The red band at the bottom clearly indicates the series: \"Commissaire SAN-ANTONIO\", as well as the publisher \"FLEUVE NOIR\", both emblematic of French detective novels from the 1950s to the 1970s. The spine and the lower right corner show visible signs of wear, with some folds, marks, and scuffs, characteristic of a book that has spanned decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact paperback format is immediately recognizable, ideal for easy reading and practical storage. The edges of the cover show some snags and marks of use, while the spine, although not visible here, suggests, by its curvature, attentive reading over time. Nevertheless, the whole retains a good overall condition, with a still legible illustration and preserved colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe graphic style, lettering, and overall aesthetic of the cover are typical of Fleuve Noir editions published between the 1950s and 1970s, which confirms the vintage dating of this copy. The retro appearance of the illustration and the typography are sought after by fans of old thrillers and French popular literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side shows no major tears or significant stains, but an overall patina and traces of use bear witness to the authenticity and history of this pocket detective novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
