GRAHAM GREENE
6. Rumour At Nightfall Heinemann, 1931. First edition. Original red cloth with gilt lettering to the spine and a blind-stamped vignette to up- per cover, in remainder issue dustwrapper. A fine copy in very near fine dustwrapper with minor wear to spine head. [44627] £9,500 The dustwrapper of this copy, with the lower price of 3/6 and advert for Stamboul Train to the lower cover, bears all the hall- marks of a later jacket, however this book was famously never reprinted: so disgusted was Greene with the work, he forbad its reprinting. The jacket, whilst secondary, therefore makes this a genuine remainder issue of the first printing, issued in response to poor sales.
7. Rumour At Nightfall Heinemann, 1931. First edition. Original red cloth with gilt lettering to the spine and blind design to the upper cover. A very good copy, with some fading to the spine and mi - nor wear to the spine ends and corners. [44657] £750 The author’s scarce third novel and one which Greene disliked so much he forbad its reprinting, a prohibition now laid upon his estate, meaning that the book cannot be reissued until 2061.
