JONKERS RARE BOOKS
8. Stamboul Train Heinemann, 1932. First edition. Original black cloth let- tered in gilt to the spine, in stylish pictorial dustwrapper designed by Youngman Carter. A near fine copy with bookplate to front pastedown, in a very good dustwrap - per indeed with a little wear to the head of the spine and two short closed tears. [44630] £5,000 The author’s fourth novel, and his first to gain commercial and critical success. In general one of the less scarce of Greene’s pre- war novels, it is nevertheless now rarely seen in commerce with the dustwrapper in a bright and crisp condition. PROVENANCE: Bernie Taupin (Lyricist and noted book collector. Blind stamp to front endpaper).
9. It’s A Battlefield Heinemann, 1934. First edition. Original black cloth in styl- ish pictorial dustwrapper designed by Youngman Carter. A very good copy indeed, slight bump to the head of the spine, in a very good example of the uncommon dust - wrapper, with some slight wear to the spine ends and corners, a couple of creases towards the head of the spine, and a shallow chip to the base of the spine. [43581] £9,500 An excellent copy of what Greene described as his “first overtly political novel”.
