Patriot Games by Clancy, Tom - 1987

E Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Putnam Pub Group, 1987. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good+/Very Good+. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. CIA analyst Jack Ryan goes up against an Irish terrorist group. Correct full number line sequence. True first printing with the following errors: p. 218 lacks "to keep track of" at the beginning of the first line, p. 228 repeats the last line of p. 227 and is missing text at the bottom of the page, p. 231 repeats the last line of p. 230, and p. 232 needs the phrase "'I can't say,'" at the bottom. This copy may have been read but remains tight and crisp. The book itself would have been graded higher in condition were it not for an inscription on the front free endpaper. Otherwise there is no other writing, marks, underlining, or bookplates. No remainder marks. Spine is tight and crisp. Boards are flat and true, and the corners are square. Dust jacket is not price-clipped and has no serious flaws save for one 1/4" tear on the upper front cover, some micro tears to the edges, and some browning to the jacket flaps. This collectible, very good +, first edition/first printing copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. This is a great opportunity to own one of the late author's most well known works at a reasonable price! Satisfaction guaranteed!
