This is the second edition of a book with the same title printed letterpress in 1988. Crombie describes the history of the neighborhood and the artists and writers who lived there. He provides the history of printing by the Kickshaws Press whose shop was initially housed in Montparnasse. The Press was closed in 1994 but Crombie still retains a small shop in another location in Paris. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
