"There is no friend as loyal as a book."
— Ernest Hemingway
London: The Bodley Head, 1980. [Memoirs] First Edition. Octavo (21 x 13cm), pp.309; [3], blank. Two volumes. Bound green cloth with foil-stamped titles, top edge tinted green, dust-wrapper designed by Michael Harvey, priced at £6.95. One volume in publisher's dark green cloth blocked in gilt, the other in a lighter green cloth blocked in silver-gilt to the spine. Fine copies in near fine jackets (one is sunned to top edge and spine). As far we can tell, this represents the standard cloth and an unrecorded variant of the publisher's binding. Graham Greene retraces the experiences and encounters of his long and extraordinary life. His restlessness is legendary, he has travelled like an explorer seeking out people and political situations at the dangerous edge of things. He writes about people and places, faith, doubt, fear and the trials and crafts of writing. Item #59766
