First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with white eye design to the upper board and titles in gilt to the spine, in the Richard Chopping illustrated dustwrapper. A better than very good copy, the binding square with a little bumping and softening at the spine tips, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. The for-edge of the closed text block has just a couple of isolated foxing spots. Complete with the near fine original dustwrapper that is a little marked to the rear panel and extreme edge of the flaps, and otherwise bright and entirely without loss, tears or fading of the fugitive red lettering. Not price-clipped (15s net to the lower front flap).
The eighth title in Ian Fleming's James Bond series and the first short story collection. Comprising 'From a View to a Kill'; 'For Your Eyes Only'; 'Quantum of Solace'; 'Risico'; 'The Hildebrand Rarity'. [Gilbert A8a (1.1)].
