VERY NICE SIGNED CONSIGNMENT:
"To my dear Robert Laffont,
To the royal editor who royally welcomed in his palace in Marseille
the mitred, haloed, entrogated family of the Constantines, the Picts and the Berrys
putting himself among the main benefactors of this family,
I solemnly hand over the Berugian Bible,
with the testimony of my deep friendship and my profound gratitude
June 6, 1944
André Berry"
