Jean-Jacques Sempé's Vaguement Compétitif [Vaguely Competitive] was published by Denoël in 1985. In the year of publication, Sempé inscribed a copy to musician John Philips with a drawing of a concert pianist approaching his instrument. The book was sold by Dunaway Books of St. Louis, MO on September 25, 2007 for $90 on eBay.
Note: I'm the first to admit that original works by Jean-Jacques Sempé don't appear enough on this blog, so who has something good to share here?
