Le Carré (John) The Honourable Schoolboy first edition signed & inscribed by the author (as John Le Carré) on half-title ex-library markings including stamps and sticker marks on half-title (around inscription) original inner falps laminated onto verso of front free endpaper original boards with dust-jacket partly taped down onto covers some edge wear with loss 8vo 1977. ***A far more interesting than average ex-library copy this copy was deaccessioned from the MI6 library. The inscription is an interestingly cryptic one: "To Alan in memory of mutual friends - John le Carré 6 Nov `96". We are reliably informed that one of the mutual friends referred to in the inscription was the now deceased officer on whom the Honourable Schoolboy character was based and who at one time served under the vendor in Hong Kong where the novel is set. A fascinating copy of a key work in the spy canon..
