DOCTOR NO

First edition, first impression, first state binding. Publisher's original plain black cloth with titles to the spine in silver, in the Pat Marriott illustrated dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with some bumping at the spine tips, the cloth with a small faint white mark to the upper board is otherwise bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that has a single tiny closed tear to the upper rear spine fold (previously secured with a piece of tape to the underside, no longer present) and is otherwise bright and without loss. Not price clipped (13s 6d net to lower front flap).

First impression, first state binding without the silhouette to upper board seen on most copies. Of the 19,515 copies of the first edition printed, only 3,495 were issued in the first state binding (which statistically makes it scarcer than Casino Royale). [Gilbert A6a (1.1)]
