PRELUDE FOR WAR

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original blue cloth with black titles to the upper board and spine, in the Thompson illustrated dustwrapper. A better than very good copy, the binding firm with minor bumping to the spine tips, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has several closed tears with associated creasing (a few secured with tape to the underside) and a touch of fading to the spine. Not price-clipped (7/6 net to the spine).

A full length novel featuring Simon Templar, alias 'The Saint'. (Hubin).
