This is just a small sample of available Ipcress items; for a more extensive list try The Harry Palmer Movie Site.

The original publisher of the book was Hodder & Stoughton in 1962. This cover is from the 4th printing of the Panther edition from 1964. This copy isn't in very good condition - please ignore the price label and coffee stain.

This cover is from the 1965 Panther edition. The film was released that year and this is reflected by a photo promo on the first page featuring Michael Caine. Mr Caine also appears on the back cover.

Deighton had written dozens of books by the '80s; they were all reprinted using this minimal white-background style. This edition was published in 1985 by Triad/Panther Books.

John Barry's original soundtrack album (1965) was reissued on this CD in 2002. The package includes a decent booklet, Barry's groovy not-in-the-film theme variations and, best of all, we get a snippet of film dialogue between every track. Be sure to listen to the last track fully...

The original Region 2 DVD from Carlton (1999) was unforgivably not in widescreen format, with very meagre special features. There was a widescreen re-release, but a new special edition is to be released in January 2006.

The Region 1 DVD is much better; 2.53:1 widescreen and a fascinating commentary from the director (Sidney J. Furie) and editor (Peter Hunt).
