A propos de cet article

First impression of the true first edition of Len Deighton's fourth novel, the last in the Harry Palmer series. The stylish dustwrapper was designed by Raymond Hawkey. ***Very good in navy-blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still nice and bright, just slightly rubbed. The boards are clean with just a couple of small marks on the front board. Head and tail of spine slightly creased. Corners sharp. Page block edges clean. There is a light vertical reading crease to the spine, but the spine is tight. No reading lean to the binding. Internally also very good, with no inscriptions. No foxing. Pages clean. No tears. A few pages just lightly creased at the bottom corner. The book has a 1960s period computer punch-card design to the front board, and Honeywell Electronic Data processing design front and rear endpapers. ***In a very good wraparound metallic foil illustrated dustwrapper, that has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 21s net. The dustwrapper is extremely fragile, being produced on very thin foil paper, and as a consequence is almost always found in a very worn condition. Although the dustwrapper on this copy is largely complete, there is slight loss at the top and tail of the spine, and tips of the foldovers. There is an associated closed tear also at the bottom of the spine. Inevitable small nicks and closed tears to the extremities. There is also quite a lot of creasing to the spine and the foldover edges. The dustwrapper is still quite bright and clean. ***312 pages. 195mm x 130mm. ***'The man with the Billion-Dollar Brain is a Texan multi-millionaire. He has poured his fortune into a fanatical anti-Communist crusade. His Brain is the master of a vast, independent espionage network.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the true first edition, in the original fragile 1960s wraparound illustrated dustwrapper. The fourth novel in the Harry Palmer series. Of interest to collectors of Len Deighton's 1960s spy thrillers, and the hardest of the titles to find in decent condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
