Description

This paperback, visible in the photo, is a French detective novel from the San-Antonio series, titled "N’en jetez plus". The book features an illustrated cover characteristic of vintage editions, with a drawing highlighting a brunette woman in a short skirt and a man in uniform, typical of the graphic codes of detective novels from the 1960s to the 1980s. The title "SAN-ANTONIO" is printed in large capital letters at the top of the cover, immediately recognizable to fans of the genre.

The flexible paper cover displays the publisher's name "FLEUVE NOIR" in red letters at the bottom of the book, confirming its belonging to this famous collection of French detective novels. The visual presents shades of purple, blue, beige, and orange, with a slightly patinated print, indicating an older edition. The novel's title, "N’en jetez plus", is clearly legible on the right side of the cover.

The format observed in the photo corresponds to a classic paperback, suitable for reading and easily transportable. The style of the illustration, with its flat colors and retro graphics, evokes a vintage period, probably the 1970s or 1980s, but without being able to specify the exact date without further information.
