London: Macmillan, 1978. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. Signed by Author. First UK Edition. SIGNED & INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR. Behind the scenes of the Nixon Interviews. Publisher's black boards with gilt lettering to the spine. The book itself is Fine without any faults (not even minor bumping). The D/W is VG with some edge wear, age tone and creasing however with no fading whatsoever to the fugitive red spine lettering. Laid inside is a book review cut out from the Yorkshire Evening Post (YEP) dated 17/04/78 which concludes that the author will be giving a talk at the YEP literary luncheon on 27/04/78. Presumably, this is where the book was signed. The book is inscribed by the Author in green felt tip to the front free end-paper: "To Charles/ David Frost". The recipient "Charles" is C.C, Tapp who I believe worked at the YEP. This book was part of his library. Exceedingly uncommon, signed. Photographs/scans available upon request.
