DEAD AND ALIVE

First edition, first printing. Original burgundy cloth with silver titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with some spotting to the closed text block edges, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper which has a very short closed tear to the top corner of the front panel and is a little dusty to the spine and rear panel. Not price-clipped (7s. 6d net to the front flap). A very attractive copy.

The author's first post-war novel, based on his time as a Major in Italy.
