THE SPY WHO LOVED ME

First edition, first impression. Publisher's original black cloth with blind-stamped dagger, the blade in silver to upper board, titles in silver to the spine, in the Richard Chopping illustrated dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and tight, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. The top edge of the closed text block is a little spotted and dusty. Complete with the very near fine, first printing dustwrapper that has a few tiny isolated spots to the flaps and is otherwise remarkably bright and fresh and without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (15s net to the front flap).

The tenth book in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. [Gilbert A10a (1.1) State A].
