Le Carre, John - Le Carre Omnibus

A UK first edition, first impression.

Wrapper : The wrapper on this copy is bright, unfaded and complete. It is unclipped - showing the price 18/- on the inside flap. It shows a hint of gentle bruising to the top edges and very shallow chipping to the upper corners and the spine ends. The wrapper is split along most of the front panel / spine crease - as the wrapper is in backed Brodart this is completely invisible, but it does account for the Very Good only description. Looks much better than its grading would suggest.

Book : The book is square and very tight. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. The boards are clean and unfaded, the corners sharp. It shows trivial bruising to the spine ends. The pages are clean. The closed page edges are lightly toned. No foxing. No dog-eared pages. The binding is tight - no cracked hinges. A very nice copy in a protected wrapper.

Publisher: Gollancz, 1964

Condition: Very Good ++. Wrapper: Very Good
