A wonderful issue, sturdily bound in red cloth and enclosed in a slipcase covered in the same material. This is SIGNED by the author on the title page, and numbered by him, number 225 of only 500 copies. This is a substantial heirloom copy of this superb novel. Gilt edges to all three of the text block edges, gilt titling to the binding, including a gold author signature on the cover, and the endpapers are hand marbled. This is a sumptuous presentation volume. The slipcase also has a gilt title, 'HARRODS LIMITED EDITIONS' and the whole production is terrific, down to the silk marker tie. An essential collector piece for Deighton completists. Almost as new, just a very slightly worn slipcase, and a tiny production wrinkle on the front of the cover binding. The book itself looks unread. Language: eng.

Review
‘Deighton’s longest, most complex and passionate novel in years: an epic tale, set in a South American jungle, of good men and women crushed beneath the heel of Realpolitik’ Kirkus Review
‘You will be hooked from the first chapter and enjoy every line... The Berlin Wall may have tumbled, destroying overnight a whole spy cottage industry, but as the dust settles Len Deighton rises like the phoenix... a superb novel’
Bryan Forbes, Sunday Express
‘Moral ambiguity used to be called Greeneland. Since Graham Greene’s death, that territory is open for conquest. At least part of it ought to be renamed Deightonsville’
Time Magazine
