Mamista

A wonderful issue, sturdily bound in red cloth and enclosed in a slipcase covered in the same material. This is SIGNED by the author on the title page, and numbered by him, number 225 of only 500 copies. This is a substantial heirloom copy of this superb novel. Gilt edges to all three of the text block edges, gilt titling to the binding, including a gold author signature on the cover, and the endpapers are hand marbled. This is a sumptuous presentation volume. The slipcase also has a gilt title, 'HARRODS LIMITED EDITIONS' and the whole production is terrific, down to the silk marker tie. An essential collector piece for Deighton completists. Almost as new, just a very slightly worn slipcase, and a tiny production wrinkle on the front of the cover binding. The book itself looks unread. Language: eng.
