First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with silver titles to the spine, in the photo-illustrated dustwrapper. An excellent, fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. A little toning to the margins of the free endpapers and half title. Complete with the lightly rubbed and ever so slightly nicked dustwrapper that has strips of brown tape to the upper and lower edge of the underside. Not price-clipped (6s net to the front flap).
The first appearance in print of Greene's novelisation of his screenplay The Third Man, the basis for the multi-award winning 1949 film noir starring Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten. (Wobbe A23).
