This beautiful book is housed in its original dust jacket, which is in equally smart condition, free from any marks or damage, save a hint of bumping to the spine ends.
In all, this is a very smart, collectible example of this modern first by le Carré. This novel is a fast-paced novel that spans 56 years. It is a theatrical masterpiece of tragi-comic writing, and a savage fable of our time, almost of our hours.
