About this Item

Description:

Bound in orange paper over boards with gilt lettering on spine. Ends of spine pushed in, and trace wear to tips and bottom of spine, otherwise a fine book without any foxing. First state dust jacket is not price-clipped, retaining original publisher's printed price of 15/-net. The ends of spine panel and flap folds are chipped and browned around the chips. These defects have been professionally repaired with white tissue which blends in exceptionally well with the white of the dust jacket, and is hardly noticeable except for lack of gloss. Jacket design by Raymond Hawkey. Author's first book (issued as Secret File No 1), a spy novel featuring Harry Palmer (un-named in the book) and basis of the 1965 movie starring Michael Caine. 224 pages. Seller Inventory # 22209
