About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 1975. First edition. Cloth. Very Good/Near Fine. 8.5" by 5.5". None. A first edition of Brian Freemantle's psychological thriller 'The Man Who Wanted Tomorrow'. Featuring the original dustwrapper. "Four boxes hidden by the Nazis in a lake, become the focal point of international attention. The special Jewish operation finds three boxes contain gold bars, and an incalculable fortune in jewels. But the fourth box allegedly contains files on high-ranking Nazi Party members who escaped the Nuremberg Trials. Clearly the box is not only important to the Jews, but also vital to those Nazis whom the files incriminate." In original cloth binding with unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, dustwrapper is generally smart. Very light chipping to the head of the spine. Cloth is also smart, aside from some light shelfwear. Bookseller's label to the rear pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean throughout. Some small marks to the first and last leaves. Very Good
