GOLDFINGER

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with blind-stamped skull with gilt eyes to upper board and titles in gilt to the spine, in the Richard Chopping illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the fine original dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (15s net to the lower front flap). A spectacular example, in entirely original condition.

The seventh James Bond adventure of which 24,250 copies of the first edition were printed. [Gilbert A7a (1.2) second state of binding without the small indentation to the upper left of the skull].
