About This Item
A lovely first printing of the first English edition [Jonathan Cape London (1967)], inscribed by author Len Deighton by way of a 4"x6" black and white publicity photo attached to the half title page. The book is in fine condition with no remainder marks, a tight and square binding, with no owner inscriptions or highlighting and no staining or marking. The original 'Top Secret' transit docket is laid in. The dust jacket is in near fine condition, price-clipped, but with no creases, chips or tears and minimal shelf wear. It is now protected by an archival cover which is easily removable. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
