What a wonderful present: a 1930 Grosset & Dunlap edition Candide (read our review of Candide). Received it last week, but I’ve been to busy to photograph it. Has a nice slipcase (above), and the cover sports a tactile cameo of Gutenberg in profile—


Illustrations are by Mahlon Blaine, and inevitably involve sex and/or violence—like this one below—

There a number of handsome full page illustrations as well. Just lovely.
