C'est avec grand plaisir que je vous présente les couvertures originales en français de Catherine il suffit d'un amour. Il est fascinant de voir comment notre héroïne bien-aimée a changé de look depuis la première publication du best-seller international de Juliette Benzoni en 1963.


 

             

 
             

 
             

             

             

             


 



 

 
 

In Heinemann Ltd. original Hardcovers (and a few othter countries) we see these two beautiful photos of Juliette Benzoni. The one on the left was taken by the acclaimed late writer photographer Jerry Bauer ( 1934 - 2010 ) The photo on the right was taken by another world famous photographer Sam Lévin (1904 - 1988). The Lévin photo was Juliette's official Autograph card. Sometimes we can buy them on Ebay nowadays...
