Description de l'incident

If these books sound at all familiar to you, please let me know promptly. Don't bother to request that, if I cannot identify the legal owner, I should quote the books to you. I have had plenty of such solicitations already. The following two volumes were offered to me this morning by a very obliging fellow who did not, frankly, seem to be the sort who would be a likely owner of such esoterica. He was happy to leave them with me for examination, and I regret that I harbor any suspicions of his bona fides: Also this is very likely the copy of this unprepossessing work that as lot 773 at the sale of December 11, 1993 at Sotheby's, New York, fetched what seems to a humble provincial bookseller like me a surprisingly substantial sum. I should point out that these are both slim volumes that would easily fit into a bibliophile's pocket.... Please advise me if there is anything about one or both of these books about which I should take special note.
