Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. I am offering the following three UK hardback first editions which comprise the "Operation" trilogy of books: 1) OPERATION - DEADLINE: This is a Fine / Fine UK first edition hardcover published by Ward, Lock in 1967. The jacket is Fine and unclipped (13/6 net). It is nice, bright and unfaded and has no obvious wear. The book is Fine with straight spine, sharp corners and firm spine ends. There is a vertical brown stripe along the inner board preventing a Very Fine description. The copyright page confirms the first publication in 1967. A beautiful example. 2) OPERATION -TO KILL A MAN: This is a Fine / Fine UK first edition hardcover published by Ward, Lock in 1968. The jacket is Fine and unclipped (13/6 net). It is nice, bright and unfaded and has no obvious wear. The book is Fine with straight spine, sharp corners and firm spine ends. There is a vertical brown stripe along the inner board preventing a Very Fine description. The copyright page confirms the first publication in 1968. A beautiful example. 3) OPERATION - KILL OR BE KILLED: This is a UK first edition hardcover published by Robert Hale in 1969. The jacket is Near Fine and unclipped (18/- net). It is nice, bright and unfaded and has some light rubbing to the top of the spine only. The book is Very Good with overall straight spine, sharp corners and firm spine ends. There is evidence of library stamps as the photos show and DISCARD has been stamped on all three page edges. The copyright page confirms the first publication in 1969. Still an attractive copy and stands well with the other two in the series.
