West is pitted against East, and the British establishment against a labyrinthine criminal superpower, in le Carré's searing novel of lives built upon lies.
This is a RARE set of all three states of the Uncorrected Proofs of the 1st Print of the 1st UK hardback edition published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1999
[Three Issues, i) Purple with limitation struck through and 342pp,
ii) Purple no.1064/1500 (336pp),
iii) White unnumbered (336pp)]
Although we are unsure of the order of these issues, it is reasonable to believe that the 1st issue is the purple copy with the limitation struck through, the 2nd purple copy then being issued 1500 times, each individually number and with less pages, with the final 3rd issue white plain copy carrying no limitation and the same amount of pages.
A rare complete set of all three states of the proof presented together.
Almost Fine with some minor wear and light fading to spine.
We have a huge collection of other John le Carré proofs and 1st printings available, including many signed copies.
