Signed Tom Clancy The Cardinal of the Kremlin 1st Edition HC/DJ 1988

Description: I purchased this first edition first printing signed Tom Clancy book in an estate collection of signed first edition books from a Fine Books auctioneer in the Washington, DC area. Condition: There is light writing in pencil on the signature page. The spine is not flush. There is a page that is wrinkled on the bottom with some staining (last photo). The book has the dust jacket, which came covered in a BroDart plastic clear book jacket cover. It looks like some yellowing on the back flap. I am not an expert, so please also refer to the photos. I will ship in a box with large cushion bubble wrap via USPS Media Mail. Thanks for looking. From Library JournalIn his fourth book, Clancy uses nuclear strategies to probe the ambiguities of fighting the good fightthe Americans vs. the Soviets. By the time familiar hero Jack Ryan steps in to investigate mysterious structures on the Soviet-Afghan border, the Soviets have struck again by zapping a satellite with a free electron laser. The title's cardinal, an elite, well-placed source in the Kremlin, leaks details of this secret activity to the United States. In the backdrop of technological bravura, spiced by artful espionage and all-too-human mistakes, intelligence is transferred back and forth and there are attacks and counterattacks. It is a mark of Clancy's growing maturity as a writer that he can bring these subtleties into highly entertaining form. Literary Guild Main.
