Paperback. Condition: Fair. Ahhh yes ? that proud little ?2/6? on the cover. Not a mysterious code. Not a spy signal. Not a chapter number. Just good old two shillings and sixpence ? the price in proper pre-decimal British money. In other words: half a crown . In modern currency? About 12½p. Which, sadly, is not what you?re charging today. Right. Let?s do this properly. The Spies of Peenemünde (1959) Don Betteridge Corgi Books ISBN: none (because barcodes were for the future) Condition: Fair As sold by Crappy Old Books Here we have Cold War paperback drama in its purest, most deliciously pulp form. Rockets. Spies. Suspicion. A man in a trench coat who looks permanently five seconds away from either lighting a cigarette or betraying someone. And looming over it all ? Peenemünde, that very real German rocket site whose name alone sounds like it should be whispered. The cover does most of the shouting for you: sleek missile, noir lighting, a woman who knows things, and that magnificent ?2/6? price circle at the top ? a relic from when international intrigue cost less than a Mars bar. It?s a wonderful historical footnote. Once upon a time you could buy atomic-age paranoia for half a crown. You cannot anymore. Now you must pay slightly more than 12½p for your espionage, but rest assured: inflation has not dulled the drama. Inside, this is classic late-1950s spy fiction ? brisk, tense, utterly convinced that secrets are hidden in plain sight and that every conversation in a café could alter the balance of global power. The rockets aren?t metaphorical. The danger isn?t abstract. The Cold War hums quietly beneath every page like a radio tuned just slightly off frequency. Betteridge writes in that efficient, no-nonsense style that suggests men carry dossiers in their inside pockets and women can outwit entire ministries with a raised eyebrow. There will be suspicion. There will be coded messages. There may be a hurried departure in the night. Nobody ever just ?walks? anywhere ? they move cautiously. And the Fair condition? Perfect, frankly. A 1959 Corgi spy paperback should not look factory-fresh. It should look like it has travelled by train, been read under dim lamps, and perhaps bent slightly during a moment of suspense. The wear adds atmosphere. This is a book that has done its rounds. That 2/6 circle remains on the cover as a charming reminder that once upon a time the world?s secrets were affordable. Now it?s a collectible slice of mid-century tension, complete with period typography and a whiff of trench-coat seriousness. Buy it for the pulp. Buy it for the rockets. Buy it for the sheer joy of seeing ?2/6? and realising you are holding a tiny, dramatic piece of Britain before decimalisation. Half a crown in 1959. A small fortune in atmosphere today. …
