About This Item
A very nice first printing of the first American edition [Knopf New York 1984], signed by author Len Deighton directly on the title page and scarce as such. The book is in near fine condition with a softening of the binding at the top of the spine but with no remainder marks, with no owner inscriptions or highlighting and no staining or marking. The dust jacket is in near fine condition, price-clipped, with some toning but no creases, chips or tears and minimal shelf wear. It is now protected by an archival cover which is easily removable, with no tape or adhesive used. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
