SIGNED BCE's of This Le Carre Classic are Scarce and Becoming Increasingly Hard to Find!!

John Le Carre, (1931-2020).

Hardcover with its original dust jacket.

Published by Coward-McCann: New York, 1963.

Boldly SIGNED on the first, blank page by the celebrated author!

NOT inscribed to anyone, simply and elegantly SIGNED by the late, great John Le Carre!

Please note there are TWO additional signatures present on this page!

Initially, we believed the other signatures might be of some importance. Unfortunately, we have been unable to ascertain, with an acceptable degree of certainty, the identity of the other individuals who also put their signatures on this page.

For this reason, we MUST proceed with an abundance of caution and assume the other signatures are simply the names of some previous owners.

The additional signatures adds no monetary value or have any cultural significance. If anything, the additional signatures should be viewed as an unfortunate flaw!

Once again, we want to repeat that there are TWO additional signatures present on the same page as the John Le Carre signature and we believe the other signatures are simply the names of some previous owners.

A First American Book Club Edition, (BCE).

Essentially, this is an early reprint.

Please remember this is NOT a First Edition/First Printing!

Please also remember this is the AMERICAN Edition, NOT the U.K. Edition.

Once again, we want to repeat that this is NOT the First Edition/First Printing of this title.

This rare treasure has some very clearly visible wear/age, but is still in Highly Desirable, Highly Collectible condition!

The wear, however, should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying.

The book appears gently read and other than the two presumed previous owner signatures we mentioned earlier, has no internal writing, no remainder marks, no missing pages and is NOT Ex-Libris.

The binding is holding firm and tight.

All of the pages are present and attached.

Some general/shelf wear along with a noticeable lean/slant, creases/scuffing/wear to the spine/corners/boards, marks/wear to the edge/fore pages and creases/marks/wear to the pages, NOT affecting the text!

Please note the wear to the spine/corners/boards, particularly noticeable near/along the edges, and the wear that is present on the pages, particularly noticeable on certain pages.

All of the wear previously mentioned is very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered.

The original dust jacket is fully intact.

Some general/shelf wear along with creases, scuffing, marks and rips.

The rips has resulted in some loss of paper.

We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book.

We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear.

Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear to both the book and the dust jacket is very clearly visible!

All of the wear, especially to the dust jacket, should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying.

Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection.

Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!!

Payment must be received within three days or the book will be re-listed.
