HAWKEY, Raymond (1930-2010).

London: Jonathan Cape, 1979. [Body-Snatching Thriller] FIRST EDITION, Edward Milward-Oliver's copy. Octavo (22 x 15cm), pp.256. Publisher's black cloth with gilt titles to spine, and red endpapers. With the photographic dust-jacket, designed by the author. Indentation from heavy pencil pricing to title page (rubbed out). Some very light handling, and jacket price-clipped. A lovely crisp near-fine copy with notably bright red titles to jacket spine. A chilling organ-harvesting thriller by the former graphic designer, responsible for dust-jacket designs for books by Ian Fleming and Len Deighton, among others. From the library of the writer, media and film executive Edward Milward-Oliver, also biographer of Len Deighton, and author of a tribute to Raymond Hawkey in '007 Magazine', Issue 54. Item #58990
