First edition, first impression. Publisher's original black cloth with blind-stamped skeletal hand design 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 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, as new example.
The ninth book in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. [Gilbert A9a (1.1)]
