LE CARRE, John [David CORNWELL]

Published by Viking, London, 2010

8vo., black publisher?s boards, lettered typographically in gilt to spine; red endpapers; together in the original unclipped gold and black dustwrapper (£18.99 to front flap); pp. [viii], 305, [vii]; a very good copy in like dustwrapper; the text block with ever-so-slight shelf lean and a little vertical creasing to the backstrip, lightly pushed to spine tips; pages slightly toned, but otherwise clean internally; the wrapper slightly rubbed and creased to edges, one small abrasion to the upper edge of front flap fold.

First edition, third impression of Le Carre?s 2010 novel. This copy warmly inscribed by the author in the year of publication to the title page: ?For Nigel Williams - wonderful how the world came round again! David aka John le Carre 2nd Sep 2010 Cornwall.?

A very nice example of a spy work which was written relatively late in the author?s canon of works, this time set in Britain and Antigua and involving Russian money launderers.

Le Carre met BBC presenter and writer Nigel Williams on a number of occasions, perhaps most notably interviewing him on ?The Secret Centre? in 2000, where they discussed his life as a secret agent and writer. Seller Inventory # 628
