YESTERDAY'S SPY

First edition, first printing. Inscribed by the author to his publisher. Original brown cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. Top-edge brown, as issued.

Complete with the fine original dustwrapper. Not price-clipped (£2.75 net to the front flap).

An outstanding association copy, inscribed by the author in black ink opposite the title page "Chalcot Gdns / May 1976 - A spy's best friend is his / publisher / - to Tom and Fay / best wishes and / thanks for a / memorable visit / Len Deighton - / May 1976". The recipient is Tom Maschler, titan of British publishing and at the time of presentation, the head of the Jonathan Cape publishing house.
