Penguin, January 1967. Mass Market PaperBack . Good. A well worn mass market copy of a scarce title in any condition or format. Tanned/darkened, heavily foxed. Spine leaning. Yes one might even say cocked, but for truth's sake the last name of Claud Cockburn (1904-1981) is pronounced 'coburn', like the great Hollywood actor, James Coburn (1928-2002). This autobiography, I, Claud was originally published in 3 separate volumes In Time of Trouble (Rupert Hart-Davis, 1956), Crossing the Line (MacGibbon & Kee, 1958) and View from the West (MacGibbon & Kee, 1961). Those 3 books were published in 1967 with new material by Penguin.
