[Spy Thriller] FIRST EDITION, first impression. Octavo, pp.405 [8]. Publisher's light blue cloth (also issued in green cloth) with title and trim printed in black, map endpapers. In original pictorial dust-jacket. Some very light offset to flyleaves, minor toning to spine; a gently handled copy in near fine condition. A dramatic series of adventures which take place against the backdrop of a small South American Republic that has fallen under the spell of a ruthless Dictator. The fifth novel to feature Buchan's most enduring character, the adventurous government agent (Sir) Richard Hannay. In this episode, attention shifts to Sandy Arbuthnot, Hannay's old ally who previously appeared in the 'The Thirty Nine Steps' and 'Greenmantle'. Buchan's famous adventurer was one of the fore-runners to James Bond; [author Ian Fleming] "was certainly influenced by no-nonsense British fictional characters such as Richard Hannay" [Gilbert, p.616]. This copy is from the comprehensive archive of James Bond material assembled by Ian Fleming bibliographer Jon Gilbert, with his pencilled ownership.

Erstausgabe
REGULAR FIRST EDITION and VARIANT FIRST EDITION in publisher's TRIAL BINDING. 2 volumes. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.318; [2], blank. The regular binding in pale blue cloth titled and ruled in dark blue, the advance binding in mid blue cloth more heavily blocked in black. Both have printed map endpapers. Both volumes very good, with some expected wear and handling, a few marks and soiling, owner name to the standard first. A most uncommon advance or trial issue binding, clearly vetoed in favour of the more familiar version which was uniform with cloth bindings for similar-era Buchan titles, including The Three Hostages.
