About this Item
First Edition. 8vo, publisher's original black cloth, the spine lettered in silver, in the vibrant red dustjacket, printed in black yellow and white. [x], 246 pp. A fine copy, the spine panel of the dustjacket has mellowed. FIRST EDITION. THE SUCCESSOR BOOK TO THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD. Le Carré writes: 'Snow covered the airfield. It had come from the north, in the mist, driven by the night wind, smelling of the sea. There it would stay all Winter, threadbare on the gray earth, an icy, sharp dust; not thawing and freezing, but static like a year without seasons. The changing mist, like the smoke of war, would hang over it, swallow up nw a hanger, now the radar but, now the machines; release them piece by piece, drained of colour, black carrion on a white desert." THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD won the Maugham Award for 1964. J.B. Priestley called that book 'a superbly constructed story, with an atmosphere of chilly hell' and C.P Snow acclaimed John le Carré as 'the best wirter of spy stories, living or dead'. THE LOOKING-GLASS WAR continues in like traditiion, a shockingly good book. Seller Inventory # 32429
