Doctor Frigo-Eric Ambler.Original Typescript With Pencil Annotations By Author?

Weidenfeld and Nicolson. 1974. Very good, with marks to page block edges and some foxing and a little liquid damage to head of spine area internally, in like red boards, with some discolouration here and there and some bumping to corners (no doubt due to heavy weight).

Original typescript of the novel, with Peter Janson-Smith s name to foot of title page, Ambler s agent and agent also to Ian Fleming among other literary heavyweights. Pencil publication details to front free endpaper. It is unclear whose hand these are in, but they betray some similarities to Ambler s, particularly around words such as ‘London’.
