Ken Follett - The Bear Raid, First UK Edition

Published by Harwood-Smart Publishing, London, 1976. First Edition. Hardcover in dustjacket.

The second Piers Roper thriller, following The Shakeout. An early title from Ken Follett, the Welsh author who became one of the world's bestselling novelists with Eye of the Needle (1978). Pre-Eye of the Needle Follett in first edition is notably scarce.

Loosely inserted: a plain white card boldly hand-signed by Ken Follett in black ink, ideal size for mounting in the book.

Condition: An attractive copy. Pushed at the spine tips, corners lightly bumped, slightly cracked at the title and first couple of gatherings but tight and reasonably square. Very Good. Dustjacket Near Fine, with just minor tanning to flaps and a tiny scrape to the laminate near the gutter at the front cover.
