For a little over three decades I've been looking for an edition that uses off-white; that alone sealed the deal for me. The print quality, the craftmanship, and presentation, are all worth every penny.

Product details
All grown-ups were children first. (But few of them remember it)The little prince lived on a very small planet, hardly any bigger than a house. Lonely on his tiny world, one day the prince, catching hold of a migration of wild birds, left on a journey across the stars to learn life’s mysteries of love, loss and beauty in a universe corrupted by grown-up logic. First published in 1943, and since translated into 270 languages and 26 different alphabets, few books have touched the world like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s modern fable The Little Prince. In its first Folio edition, this definitive two-volume production includes a new introduction by Saint-Exupéry’s biographer and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff, as well as restored versions of Saint-Exupéry’s unforgettable illustrations, as inseparable from the story as the words themselves.This edition won the Literature category at the British Book Design and Production Awards 2018.

Not just his original tale, which is beautiful, but pages from his first draft as well in a commentary book. The story of his life, how he wrote The Little Prince, and how his book found its way to us, is what makes this edition so special.
