You Shall Know Them by Vercors

This item is an open book displaying its title page. The primary title, "You Shall Know Them," is prominently centered and presented in a large, bold serif font, with 'You Shall' in a regular weight and 'Know Them' in italicized bold. Below the title, the author is listed as 'by VERCORS' in a smaller, all-caps serif font. Further down, it indicates 'TRANSLATED BY RITA BARISSE,' also in a smaller, all-caps serif font. At the bottom of the page, the publisher is identified as 'McClelland & Stewart Limited - Toronto,' enclosed within a double-lined rectangular border that frames the entire title information block. The page itself appears to be a cream or off-white color, consistent with older book pulp paper. A notable condition issue is a light yellowish-brown circular stain visible in the top right corner of the page, suggesting exposure to moisture or age-related discoloration. The binding is not visible, but the paper shows some gentle curving where the book is open. The left page, partially visible, contains what appears to be a list of other works or a contents page, with text such as 'CORS,' 'THE SEA,' and 'NOVELS' visible, hinting at the author's other publications. The overall aesthetic suggests a mid-20th-century publication style, characteristic of early modern literary releases. The typography is clean and classic, indicating standard publishing practices of its estimated era. The craftsmanship appears to be typical for a printed book, with clear text and a well-defined layout on the page.
