James Bond First Editions

Live and Let Die [two variant copies of the same impression].

FLEMING, Ian Lancaster (1908-1964).

London: Pan Books, 1959. [Spy novel] Third impression in paperback (UK version and international version). Slim octavos (18 x 11cm), pp.247; [1], blank. Publisher's illustrated softcovers with design by Rex Archer, one priced 2/6, the other unpriced for export. 'Great Pan' series, GP83. Contents clean, toning to cheap paper text block as expected, neat ink name to export copy, old pen price 1/9 to UK copy, covers bright, minor rubs to joints. Very good indeed. UK editions of Fleming's best-selling James Bond series were imported by numerous British overseas territories across the globe [Gilbert], as demonstrated by the present copies.
