Tremor of Intent (A Secret Service romp!).
London: Heinemann Ltd, 1966. [Spy novel] FIRST EDITION, first impression. Octavo (20 x 14cm), pp.240. Publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to the spine, in rather sultry photographic dust jacket, designed by Larry Learmonth. Contents clean, edges a little dusty/spotted, some toning, offset to endpapers, jacket rubbed with a couple of short tears, price clipped. A brilliantly funny spy novel described in the blurb as 'a Secret Service entertainment gone wild (even with a fashionable bit of James Bond debunking)'. Burgess was an interested party in the spy novel boom, and would review some of Ian Fleming's books (they shared the same literary agent); he would later work on an unused James Bond film script and wrote the introductions for the British paperback reissues published by Coronet.
