A first paperback edition of Greene’s black comedy set in Cuba, centred around the exploits of a vacuum cleaner salesman recruited by the British secret service to provide local intelligence reports. Originally published in 1958, the novel was then adapted into the 1959 film starring Alec Guinness. This is the first printing of the first paperback edition by Penguin, from 1962. In very good condition. No major folds or creases to boards or spine, binding tight and square.
