About This Item
LONDON: COLLINS. 1959. Near Fine. 1959. First Edition. First British Edition. Wonderfully INSCRIBED by James Jones to noted British spy novelist Derek Marlowe on the front endpaper. "To Derek, in fond memory of a very yankee 4th of July, and a new friendship made. All best, Jim. Sagaponack. 5 Aug. 1976. (Kaylie's birthday)." Jones also SIGNED his name in full, as does Marlowe, whose signature bears the original date of publication, having bought the book when new. Near fine in a Vg.+ to Nf. dj. (A few short edge tears & traces of foxing at upper edge of rear panel of dj. A few faint stains to edges of cloth) A terrific association. Inscribed by Jones on his daughter Kaylie's birthday. .
