A lot of the websites about Saint-Just highly recommends Eugene Curtis's biography of Saint-Just.
But it was published in 1935~! Is it possible to get a copy today? I mean, like 80 years have passed
I suppose university libraries might have one but our high school library certainly doesn't (all it has
is stupid prep books)

For museum library it was disappointing because they had some books from 19th century...I thought they might have Saint-Just biography...

When I really want a rare book I tend to resort to abebooks.com - doing a quick search there now they do have some copies but even the cheapest is £80. So, um, I guess if you have any money to spare then shop around.
Um, I hope that was helpful? My brain is not fully engaged yet due to lack of coffee :p

Good luck.
