Sobre este artículo
London: Jonathan Cape, 1966. First edition, first printing. Published by Jonathan Cape in London, 1966. This is a very good copy. The dust wrapper, designed by Raymond Hawkey, is bright and mostly clean. There are some moderate creases to the front panel, mostly at the spine. There are slight handling marks throughout and creasing also to the rear panel, also at the front flap. It has been price clipped, but retains the original 21s net price. The boards are slightly loose but are free from notable chips and marks. The text blocks are bright and white throughout and it is free from previous owners ink. Overall, this is a very good copy. The fourth title to feature an unnamed secret agent working for the British WOOC intelligence agency. It follows The IPCRESS File, Horse Under Water, and Funeral in Berlin.
