One by one I collect all the article's about the filming of Catherine de Montsalvy.
Also of the launching of the seven books. It is a great challenge since the TV-serie was not shown on Swiss Television back in 1986! Likewise there were no articles to be found in our movie guides or newspapers. It is really a pity, since I am known for being the great collector! Be it an article about Grace Kelly, Farah Diba, Jacqueline Onassis or even the moon landing! I am very thankful to Frédérique (who shares whatever she is able to get her hands on) to Pilou who let me use one of their articles and to our very dear Juliette, knowing where my heart lies and making me a gift of the Catherine articles. I am deeply touched and with great joy I share it with all of you...

Original article's about the launching of the

Books

1986

in 1986 the weekly journal Le Livre Magazine, printed a very abridged version of Catherine, Il suffit d'un amour 2.

my dear friend Frédérique, saw a week ago on her tour of book cover hunting, this never seen book cover, and realized that this was worth buying to put on the Press page on our websites.

At the beginning of the book, it mentions also the wonderful & unforgettable tv-series Catherine, which was broadcasted in 1986 and was able to celebrate a very great success. Their beloved stars are until this day not forgotten.

Thanks my dear, for sharing this with my website :-)

Le Livre Magazine offered their readers all in all 93 pages! Considering that the original edition by Trévise contained 381 pages! What we see here is the the beginning of the first chapter of book two and the last page of the book...
