Doctor No is the sixth novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series, originally published in 1958. It follows the British MI6 agent on a mission to Jamaica where he encounters the eponymous villain, Dr. Julius No, who is plotting to sabotage an American space launch with the help of his criminal organization.

The first edition can be identified by its plain covers, the lack of a dust jacket, and with the publisher Jonathan Cape. It also mentions 'First Published 1958' on the copyright page.
