Item description from seller

475 pp. Hardback in dust jacket. Leaves slightly age-darkened. Jacket clean. Internally clean. Peter Haining's copy. Loosely inserted are two typed letters signed by Graham Greene on his Antibes headed paper. The first declines an invitation from Haining to write the foreword for the Raffles volume. Greene writes: "It is a splendid idea to collect together the complete short stories of Raffles.' This quote then finds its way to the foot of the dust jacket! The second letter thanks Haining for sending a copy of the book. Also laid in is a letter from Dee Wallis, assistant producer of BBC's Mastermind, thanking Haining for his contribution to the programme for a 1996 broadcast. 028562640X 8vo.
