About This Item
Published by Hodder & Stoughton, London; 1999. 8vo. 336pp. First edition, first impression. Condition: Fine/Fine
Bound in original cloth boards with title to the spine in gilt. The binding is square and tight and in excellent condition, with just a touch of bumping to the spine ends and a small dent to the front boards. Inside, the pages are clean and bright and free from any damage or blemishes and appearing unread.
This beautiful book is housed in its original first issue dust jacket, which is in equally smart condition, with no marks or damage to speak of, save the slightest hint of bumping to the spine and corners.
Overall, this is a Fine example of this modern first by le Carré. This novel shows le Carré at the height of his dramatic and creative powers. It is a thrilling journey of the contemporary human heart, an extraordinary tale of love, deceit, family and the triumph of humanity. This is a lovely example of this modern first, which would be an ideal addition to any collection.
