1963ref. 355490720761London: Cape 1963. First Edition. UNCORRECTED PROOF of the First UK Edition. A softcover. Usual Cape pale green wrappers with Cape logos. Minor surface loss in places to the spine and a couple of faint creases to the bottom left hand corner of the rear cover. Overall VG indeed. I do not believe that this proof was issued with a proof dust wrapper. NB: a note on Cape proofs of this title. There are 3 Cape proofs noted with no priority established and I am indebted to Jon Gilbert the noted Deighton specialist at Adrian Harrington for bringing this to my attention. This is an example of the rarest of the three known proofs.

First Edition. a book of 1941 United Kingdom postage stamps in three denominations 6 at 2 1/2d 6 at 2d and 6 at 1/2d each bearing the head of Adolf Hitler designed to look like a contemporary George VI booklet. So authentic looking were the stamps that five years after they were issued many philatelists believed them to be have been produced during the Second World as either a German propaganda device or to quote the Stamp Magazine for a more sinister purpose. Edward Milward-Oliver: "Len Deighton: An Annotated Bibliography 1954-1985". The GPO took a very dim view of these at the time and most of them were recalled and destroyed. They are therefore very scarce. Cape
