THE GUN

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original burgundy cloth with orange titles to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. Top edge orange. A lovely fine copy, the binding square and firm and the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the near fine dustwrapper that is a little rubbed at the extremities with a single short closed tear at the lower front flap fold and a small stain to the lower spine. Not price-clipped (7s 6d net to the front flap). A lovely example, scarce in this condition.

The basis for the 1957 Stanley Kramer film "The Pride and the Passion", starring Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, and Sophia Loren.
