London: Heinemann, 1951. First Edition. Very Good/Very Good. The dust jacket is slightly faded. There are four half-inch or less tears where it bends around the spine, i.e. at top and bottom. There is one other quarter inch tear and it has been bumped, particularly at the top spine end and there are a couple of other minor folds or creases. The jacket says "6th impression". It is price clipped. The book cover is in very good condition. The endpapers are browned and reflect the inside flaps of the dust jacket. There is a small pencilled annotation on top right hand corner of page three of cover ("27. 12. 51"). There is a very light oily stain spreading across the top third of page 11-12 and one associated pinhole. When closed the page tops appear somewhat dusty and the pages themselves are perhaps slightly though regularly yellowed.First Edition. Very Good/Very Good.

London: Heinemann, 1970. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Printing. A wonderful copy of the author's fifth novel, filmed in 1974 with Roger Moore, Susannah York and Bradford Dillman in the leading roles. It sounds like a lifetime ago and yet this copy presents almost As New. Square, tight, with a fresh, white text-block, the most minor of pushing at the extreme spine tips but corners sharp- a really handsome copy. In a beautiful unclipped dustjacket with absolutely no loss of paper but a microscopic chip to the laminate at the crown. There is a line or score across the front panel which may be a production fault - not unduly noticeable although obviously a slight blemish to an otherwise perfect copy. Loosely inserted an adhesive label which has been signed by Wilbur Smith - not a contemporary signature.
