THE TAILOR OF PANAMA
New York: Knopf, 1996. First Edition. no binding. Promotional package for the US publisher for Le Carré's bestseller, made into a successful movie in 2001 by John Boorman, who co-wrote the script with the author. The cover of the paper binder has an alternative cover (to both US and UK editions); laid in are the jacket cover, author photo (10 x 8 1/4 bxw glossy), bio. and other publishing material, and two authored items: "Talking to my American Publishers" (13 pp. stapled, likely reproduced from computer) and "Taken from Remarks ... to the Knopf Sales Force" (4 leaves, 7 pp. excerpted from the first). Interesting promotional material with good content on and by the author intended primarily for booksellers, the ephemeral nature making it scarce in the marketplace. Binder with minor creasing, else fine. Fine. Item #16255
