About this Item

Ribbon page-marker is, in fact, still in its original position. Large octavo, 306 pp. The true first edition; Franklin's lavish leather binding of Greene's espionage thriller - a spy, wrestling with his humanity - later made into an Otto Preminger film with a Tom Stoppard screenplay. Full rich very dark green leather, gilt decorated and imprinted, spine panels rib divided, All Edges Gilt, green silk moire end papers with matching satin page-marker ribbon. The Franklin Library, doing what they did best. Immaculately preserved.
