[2], 523, [4] + 8 ad pp. (8vo) 19x12 cm (7½x5") original yellow printed wrappers, housed in custom mustard colored folding chemise in matching cloth slipcase with morocco spine label lettered in gilt. Sixth Edition.

Inscribed by Proust on the first blank page: "Cordial hommage á monsieur [?], Janvier 1917." The name of the recipient of the inscription is blacked out. This edition bears the 1914 publishing date on the title page, the November 8, 1913 statement at the colophon, and the front printed wrapper bears the date of 1915 and states "sixième edition." The table is present at the rear of the volume. A scarce inscribed copy of the first volume of Proust's In Search of Lost Time, one of the cornerstones of 20th century literature.
