Description

London: Cape, 1963. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. Signed by Author. SIGNED LIMITED EDITION. # 170 of 250 copies each signed by Ian Fleming. Colour frontispiece of the author by Charles Amherst Villiers. Publisher's quarter vellum over black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, top edge gilt in the original clear plastic (glassine) wrapper. This is an absolutely fine copy in its original glassine wrapper which is also in fine condition. Exceedingly scarce in this condition. This was Fleming's only Signed Limited Edition and this is an outstanding copy in every respect. To find the original glassine in this condition is a real find. This copy was formerly owned by a long-deceased Swedish collector and a Fleming bibliographer in the 1970's. Impeccable provenance. Photographs/scans available upon request
