Description

HARDBACK SECOND IMPRESSION – A near fine book bound in the publisher’s red cloth boards with gilt titles to the spine. The inner pages are very clean indeed, with a contemporary gift inscription present to the title page. Boldly signed by John Le Carre to the title page. The book is a second impression with the number sequence of 1098765432 to the copyrite page. Identical to the first edition in every way apart from the missing number1. The dust wrapper is in near fine condition with a hint of fading to the spine. The publishers printed price of £9.99 present to the front flap. The dust wrapper is the true UK first edition, with the striking ‘Juggling’ wrap-around illustration by Andy Bridge. This was issued as a promotional release. The standard trade edition was published shortly afterwards. Scarce, signed by the author.
