Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

22 April, 2015
Author: John Le Carre
Genre: Fiction
Category: Rare Books

Nicholas McBurney says: The first in the Karla trilogy, a classic Cold War thriller, here in the first edition, signed by the author, with dustwrapper. A delight to note that George Smiley’s pastimes extend beyond spycatching to the book collector’s pastime of contracting ‘friendly bargains’ at No. 10 Curzon Street (see p. 24); one imagines that he might have preferred to spend more time amidst the books than Le Carré permits him here. Whether a booklover or an armchair spook, well worth a read, or ten.

London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1974.
