The jacket, now protected, is clipped at both edges of the front flap. The bottom one is obviously the price, not sure about the top one; the head and tail of its spine strip damaged with minor loss and its edges are creased. The back of the jacket also has a short tear at the tail. Internally the book is in excellent condition - clean and solidly bound. Second in the Secret File series, The Ipcress File was number one. Other titles in the Harry Palmer series include Horse Under Water, Funeral in Berlin, Billion Dollar Brain, An Expensive Place to Die, Spy Story, and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
