FLEMING, Ian Lancaster (1908-1964).

London: Jonathan Cape, 1963. [Spy thriller] Ninth Printing. Octavo (20 x 14cm), pp.240. Publisher's black cloth-effect paper over boards, blocked in gilt, with purple dust-wrapper showing the price of 16s. No inscriptions, contents clean and fresh, bright white edges, gilt remains brillian (often tarnished), jacket is fine with very light wear. An excellent copy. Many of Cape's 60s and 70s James Bond hardcover reprints were taken into the lending library system to replace existing well-worn stock; clean, privately owned copies such as this are genuinely scarce.
