Description

Published simultaneously with the signed limited edition on 1 April 1963. One of the classic 'Blofeld Trilogy'. First edition, first impression, spelling error on page 41, line 6: 'four' for 'forty'. This is corrected by the second impression. A very good example with light lean to text block. The original dustjacket has wear to the extremities but overall a nice collectible example. Published by Jonathan Cape, London, 1963.
