Thanks hold on to it and keep it climate controlled. So many books like this get thrown out sorry to say.

It is in a safe place. Thank you for your concern.

Of course. Too many good old books thrown out these days I'm afraid. I caught what I could.

There's a sequel to 'Papillon' called 'Banco'. Supposed to be good, but never have got around to reading it.

It's good, (Banco), I bought it at my library at a book sale for $1.50
I really like a good bank job story..
One of the best is the story of
Albert Spaggiari, " Fric-Frac, The Great Riviera Bank Robbery", (best read in French)
True story.
The great José Giovanni made a great film about this bank job.
