    Joseph Kessel also penned the great 1928 novel Belle de Jour that was adapted into the classic 1967 film by Louis Bunel and later had its title stolen by an annoying blog/franchise (more on that here: https://therumpus-production.mystagingwebsite.com/2009/11/belle-de-jour-is-the-new-pretty-woman/), which is why I keep posting comments giving him credit for that. Anyway, Will, if you ever find covers for the original version of Belle de Jour, I would luuuuv to see them! Thanks for all the gorgeous posts, too!

    Thanks Julie. I’ll ask Richard Sica if he’s got that first edition. If he doesn’t I’ll do some sleuthing.
