IAN FLEMING - CASINO ROYALE, published by First Edition Library (and often referred to as the "FEL" edition), copyright 1953, copyright renewed 1981, white endpapers, black boards with red lettering on spine and red heart to front board, illustrated DJ and slipcase. Book and Dust Jacket is an exact reproduction of the UK Jonathan Cape Original Hardcover. First Edition Library (an imprint of Easton Press) issued these reproductions starting around 1993 and ending around 2002, and are now out of print and high collected by Ian Fleming collectors (often just for the slipcase). NOTE - THIS IS THE HARDEST OF THE 14 FEL JAMES BOND BOOKS TO FIND. Book, Dust Jacket, and Slipcase are still sealed in the publisher's original shrinkwrap, no dented corners to slipcase. Overall a very nice difficult to find Ian Fleming James Bond FEL hardcover book complete with their original slipcase. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Ian Fleming James Bond 1st printing hardcover appearances up for sale.
