Piano Street Magazine:
The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

It would appear not. This doesn't seem to have been published by Billaudot, and is not in there current catalogue. There also appears to be only one copy doing the rounds on the interwebs, too - the very crappy one copied from the Alkan Society.

Thanks for the info, man, and sorry for the lateness of this reply. Indeed, reality seems to back you up on this one real well. Oh well, I found this vid on You Tube where it's a lot cleaner, apparently this guy did it on Finale or Sibelius, not sure, might be a good idea to ask him if he's sharing or selling. Not that I adore the typeset of his version, but hell, it is a lot cleaner!

There's a link to the sheet in the video description:

I'll upload a copy here as Scribd can be difficult at times.
