FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with titles and rose design in silver and red to the upper board and spine, in the Richard Chopping illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding firm and square, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without foxing, inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the near fine lightly rubbed dustwrapper that remains without fading loss or tears. Correctly priced 13s 6d net to the front flap. A superb example in entirely original condition, scarce thus.

The fifth of Ian Feming's James Bond novels and the first to feature the unmistakable dustwrapper artwork of Richard Chopping. 14,087 copies of the first edition were printed. [Gilbert A5a (1.1)]
