First published 1974 is stated on the copyright page. Boards are black with gold lettering and silver grenade emblem on spine. Two reviews on the back of dust jacket - one for The Day of the Jackal, and one for The Odessa File. The back dust jacket flap has a bio and photo of the author.

Note: While we have no explicit evidence that the UK editions of Frederick Forsyth's books precede the U.S. editions, the UK editions are generally believed to be the true first editions because the author is British. We also have observed that the UK editions tend to be more desireable in the market than the U.S. editions.

To find the market value for this book, click on the pre-filled eBay, AbeBooks, or Biblio links to the right and look for comparable listings that have all of these first edition criteria.
