Notes

first publication in "flipback®" format: sewn in signatures and these collected and glued onto a fabric backing-strip: only the rear end-paper (& that part of the backing-strip) is glued onto the (rear) board of the semi-hard cover. the result is a very small format semi-hardcover that opens up to reveal the text has been printed across pages of the carcass in landscape, rather than in portrait.

published by hodder & stoughton ltd, 338 euston road, london nw1 3bh (an hachette co.), printed & bound by jongbloed bv, heerenveen, the netherlands

640pp incl. titles, plus 6pp (2pp adverts incl. rear flypage)

flipback #3 bears flipback series logo incl. waggy-tailed dog.
also states "sceptre" (another hodder & stoughton imprint name) on front cover, but nowhere else - including not in titles or the indica.

a george smiley novel, #1 of the karla trilogy;
#2 "the honorable schoolboy"; #3 "smiley's people";
the earlier "call for the dead" & "a murder of quality" are more purely mystery-detection fiction, not involving espionage.

"john le carré" is the usual nom-de-plume of david cornwell
