London: Cape, 1966. An uncorrected proof copy of the first edition. Publisher's green wraps, with titles printed in black. Some minor wear, edges spotted but square, covers show some soiling, old price (1/-) noted in ink; a very good copy preserved in a leather-spined clamshell box. One of 350 copies - this is a much smaller print run than the previous five James Bond titles in proof-form.
