London: Cape, 1961. An uncorrected proof copy published by Cape in 1961. Light edgewear and some creasing and rubbing to the spine edges. Spine has some spotting, but a very good book indeed. The Richard Chopping-designed dust wrapper is clipped, but uncut, with square corners (the published book has square corners) and with a longer rear flap and the publication date is stamped at the foot of the front flap (March 27th). Excessively rare.

Thunderball is the ninth book in the James Bond series, and the eighth full-length James Bond novel, written by Ian Fleming. It is famous for introducing the criminal organization SPECTRE and the character Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
