What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

This spy novel explores the unglamorous nature of espionage and the dangers of nostalgia. It follows an incompetent British Intelligence agency known as 'The Department'. 

The first edition, first impression.

With the original unclipped dustwrapper in a very smart condition. The spine is sunned, as is common.

Signed by Le Carre to a tipped in card on the title page. 

From the George Smiley series, this is a second novel written by an author best known for his espionage novels. John Le Carre, a pseudonym for David Johnn Moore Cornwall, worked for MI5 and MI6. 'The Looking Glass War' followed his bestseller 'The Spy Who Came in From the Cold'.
