Art/Literary - Printing & Publishing / Production Of Balzac's Work | | French term or phrase: format anglais in-18 | Contexte:
"Annoncée comme "Nouvelle édition""/revue et corrigée," alors qu'elle présente seulement quelques corrections (simplification de la ponctuation, en particulier), l'édition Charpentier du 18 mai 1839, en un volume compact, au **format anglais in-18,** ne coûte que 3,50 F (contre 15 à Delloye-Lecou) et ouvre à Balzac un nouveau marché"
Merci Beacoup,
