OCTOPUSSY AND THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS

First edition, first impression. Original black cloth with silver titles to the upper board and spine, in the Richard Chopping illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the boards bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the fine original dustwrapper that remains bright and without fading, loss or tears. Publisher's paper price-label (16s / 80p net) over the 10s 6d net printed price to the front flap. A very attractive example.

"A very few books were bound in black cloth; the vast majority of copies of Octopussy and The Living Daylights were bound in the dark brown or dark grey cloth - black cloth copies are significantly fewer in number" (Gilbert A14a (1.4 Binding type C; third issue dustwrapper [copies sold during 1970-2]).
