Very limited edition intended for a small number of friends and not sold commercially (the exact number is not known, but very few).

The Title label on the spine is peeled off at the bottom of the side closest to the front cover. Otherwise, inside in good to very good condition.
In the 5th paragraph of the 3rd and last page of the Introduction, Jean Bertin says the following:
"Cette monographie fait suite à celle que j'ai consacrée à Pierre Drumare. Comme elle, elle a été exécutée par des moyens artisanaux (dactylographie, photocopie), à tirage très limité destiné à un petit nombre d'amis, et non vendus dans le commerce."
"This monograph follows the one I devoted to Pierre Drumare. Like that one, it has been executed by artisanal means (typing, photocopying), in a very limited edition intended for a small number of friends and not sold commercially." Translated by DeepL.com
Includes the entire collection of all 136 chess problems of various kinds by the French composer, Jean Morice, with commentary, and with an interesting Biographical Introduction on Jean Morice.
In the following link http://chesscomposers.blogspot.com/2012/08/august-16th.html it is possible to see the following information:
"Jean Morice (16-08-1930) French composer and FIDE Master
Jean Morice composes mostly direct mates in 2 or 3 moves, but also reflexmates and other genres. He was granted the title of International Judge in 1983.
He collaborated during a long time with the French magazine "Thèmes-64" and afterwards with "Phénix" where he nowadays edits the Orthodox section and contributes with the regular history-oriented column "Il y a quarante ans" (Forty years ago)."
It is worth mentioning that the book has its artistic value. In the last paragraph of the 3rd and last page of the Introduction, Jean Bertin says the following:
"Merci aussi à ma regrettée cousine Louise Cottard-Fossey, artiste-peintre, pour les charmants dessins qui agrémentent cette plaquette."
"Thanks also to my late cousin Louise Cottard-Fossey, artist-painter, for the charming drawings which decorate this booklet." Translated by DeepL.com
About the artist: Louise-Jeanne Cottard-Fossey, (1902-1983), born in Le Havre, France, studied at the University of Fine Arts in that city and later at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Cottard-Fossey was also a student of the well-known French artist Othon Friesz, a lifelong friend of Raoul Dufy and several french fauvists. She is best known for her nude portraits, landscapes and still lifes. Cottard-Fossey's paintings are now in the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris and its equivalent in Le Havre.
