About This Item
William F Buckley (1925-2008) was an American journalist, author and intellectual, best known as the founder of the National Review and the host of Firing Line. He wrote 50+ books, including a series of 11 novels involving a fictitious Cold War CIA agent named Blackford Oakes. (I have two other first editions from this series listed here.)
High Jinx is the 7th of these novels, but occurs third chronologically. In this one, Oakes is sent inside the Soviet Union to monitor a Kremlin power struggle.
This is a stated first edition.
The dust jacket has some shelf-wear—condition is shown.
The book is pristine; I don't believe it has been read.
There are no marks of any kind in it or on it.
Note: If you are outside of North America, the quoted shipping price is for surface mail without tracking. For other options, please contact me.
