[net.books] Query Re LeCarre's new book

jjm (03/29/83)

	I noticed in a bookstore last night that John LeCarre's
	new book "Little Drummer Girl" is #1 on the best seller list.

	Has anyone out there read it?  Is it worth buying in hardcover?
	(I know that some people out there will say that NO book is 
	worth the hardcover price.)

	I have seen, not read, Tinker Tailor and Smiley's People.
	I know this is not a Smiley novel, but does it compare favorably?
