Near Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Black boards quarterbound in black cloth. The spine is gilt-stamped. Octavo. 280pps. Stated First printing. There is a faint bit of dustspotting to the closed page-edges, otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate: absolutely no reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, is very mildly rubbed at the extremities; the original price (14.95) is intact. SIGNED by the author -- without further inscription -- on the title-page. A very nice, collector's-quality copy of this critically-acclaimed author's scarce fourth book. "In June of 1977 the CIA dismissed 820 Clandestine Service officers in a single day -- this is the factual basis for 'Shadow Trade', one of the most sophisticated and detailed treatments of that covert community ever realized in American fiction. It is a novel about the reality of contemporary intelligence: computers, mail drops, anonymous fund transfers, honey traps, and, first and foremost, duplicity -- the ability to falsify endlessly, allowing operatives to move so far into the shadows that they disappear." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be refunded.
