Item description from seller

South by Java Head by Alistair MacLean. Fawcett Gold Medal, 1958. Book Condition / Cover Condition: Good; Covers show heavy surface wear, including creasing, edge wear, rubbing, and noticeable soiling Front cover has marker writing (“SONNY”) and scuffing across the illustrated area Spine shows creases, wear, and flattening, but remains readable. Corners rounded; small chips and stress points visible Interior pages complete and intact, with general age-toning but no loose pages observed. No evidence of water damage or mold; wear is consistent with a well-read vintage paperback (see photos) A taut, classic Alistair MacLean maritime espionage thriller, South by Java Head follows a group of Allied operatives aboard a merchant vessel navigating treacherous seas while hunted by enemy forces. Blending naval suspense, covert intelligence work, and MacLean’s signature relentless pacing, the novel is a hallmark of Cold War–era adventure fiction.
