The cover features a characteristic illustration, combining a black silhouette evoking the Palace of Westminster in London (with the famous Big Ben clock) against a background of bronze, copper, silver, and gold-toned coins. The title \"SAN-ANTONIO\" appears at the top in large black capital letters, followed by the novel's title in white: \"Ça mange pas de pain\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mention \"FLEUVE NOIR\" appears at the bottom of the cover, indicating the series' historical publisher. The graphic style of the cover, the typography, and the format attest to an older edition, typical of popular detective novels published in paperback format in the second half of the 20th century. The background of the cover shows a slightly marbled texture, classic of vintage editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is displayed upright, face-on, against a background of shelves filled with old bindings, accentuating the retro character of the object. The spine and back are not visible in the photo; only the front cover is exposed. The lower right corner shows a slight mark or crease, a sign of prior handling. The colors of the illustration remain clearly legible despite some slight signs of wear or rubbing on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall visual, combining graphic elements and typography, perfectly evokes the aesthetic of paperback thrillers from the 1960s-1980s. The compact and flexible format, typical of a \"livre de poche\" (paperback), is clearly identifiable in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe author's name, San-Antonio, is one of the most famous pseudonyms in French crime fiction, often associated with humor and a popular writing style. This title is part of the long series of investigations by Commissioner San-Antonio, an emblematic figure of French detective literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed book, sold as is.
