No other espionage author has ever been able to capture the claustrophobic moodiness of the cold war spy. The Spy Who Came in From the Cold is a seminal work, and arguably one of the best (if not THE best) novels of it's type ever. The characters are tightly developed, with just the right mix of world-weariness and naivete. The remainder of the collection mostly highlight the early career of George Smiley, the most "un"-James Bond British spy ever. Everyone is familiar with Smiley, or at least everyone who favors this type of story. Absolutely the best it gets!"; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 816 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
