  • Our Man in Havana – Graham Greene – First 1958

    Our Man in Havana – Graham Greene – First 1958

    Graham Greene’s masterpiece and a fine encouragement to all vacuum cleaner salesmen.

    Published by Heinemann. London a first edition 1958. Octavo, 273 pages. Foxing to page edges, jacket very good, the odd minor chip.

    A super spy story and a put down of the big wigs back at the Circus. Blatantly (self confessed) copied by Le Carre in his Tailor of Panama. We prefer this and you must see the old film starring Alex Guinness.

  • May We Borrow Your Husband? and Other Comedies of the Sexual Life – Graham Greene – First Edition – 1967

    May We Borrow Your Husband? and Other Comedies of the Sexual Life – Graham Greene – First Edition – 1967

    Published by the Bodley Head in 1967, a first edition.

    Octavo, 188 pages, with super dust jacket designed by Stephen Russ. Very good if not better condition with a fine complete dust jacket

    Greene twelve short stories – “Comedies of the Sexual Life” many of which rank among his best.

    The subtitle we are told not to be interpreted too narrowly … and we agree. Many different characters and settings, from the South of France to the Caribbean. The title piece is really super and packs in so much in just 40 pages. We also like the reality of “The Over-night Bag” and the Invisible Japanese Gentlemen

    Greene wit at its best .. makes a great and thoughtful gift.

    The Honorary Consul – Graham Greene – First Australian edition 1973.

    Published by The Bodley Head in Australia, Sydney in 1973. A first Australian edition.

    Octavo, 335 pages one of Greene’s more substantial novels. A couple of scuffs to dust jacket now protected like all our books in removable Brodart, name on end paper, really a very good copy.

    Provincial Argentina, revolution in Paraguay and more than the usual array of unusual characters that inhabit a Greene novel.

  • The Tenth Man – Graham Greene – First Edition 1985

    The Tenth Man – Graham Greene – First Edition 1985

    Graham Greene wrote a script in 1944 – it surfaced in 1983 – unused. Greene published it as a novel (or an entertainment) for the first time in 1985 – this edition published by The Bodley Head, London.

    Tall octavo, 158 pages, a little sign of age, still a very good copy.

    A rather provoking story and seamlessly laid out. If you are inclined to blame, then this might be the one for you

    The Tenth Man – Could he be your reflection?

  • The Captain and the Enemy – Graham Greene – First Edition

    The Captain and the Enemy – Graham Greene – First Edition

    Greene’s last novel a First Edition published by Guild, London in 1988. Octavo, 189 pages. Very good if not better condition.

    A slightly strange one to end on … thought provoking, complex and much more than seems at first. Notwithstanding that comment the opening paragraph is a classic … too long to repeat here.

    Greene’s last but not least

  • Graham Greene Yours Etc – Letters to the Press 1945-1989 – Selected and Introduced Hawtree

    Graham Greene Yours Etc – Letters to the Press 1945-1989 – Selected and Introduced Hawtree

    First edition published by Reinhardt and Viking in 1989. Complements the lengthy biographies nicely. Octavo, 269 pages including useful index. A fine copy.

    Evelyn Waugh advised Green on his election to the magnificent club that is “Whites” that “ It is a rule that letters to the newspapers may not be written on the club writing paper”. So Greene had already established his reputation in that regard.

    One can only envy Greene’s wit, turn of phrase, pungency etc. The letters are more than that though; they often take you to the issues, personalities and goings on of 20th Century modern history. Sometimes he is just having a crack. Superbly entertaining and informative.

    Greene never held back and delivered with dignity and wit
