About this Item

IAN FLEMING - DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, published by Perma Books, #M-3084, copyright 1956, states "Permabooks Edition published November, 1957" - THERE WAS ONLY ONE PRINTING OF THIS PB EDITION PUBLISHED BY PERMA BOOKS - Perma Books had changed the title of "Moonraker" to "Too Hot to Handle" (at the consternation of Fleming) whom then fired Perma Books as his U.S. pb publisher after this book was published and Fleming changed to Signet as his U.S. pb publisher who would remain his U.S. paperback publisher through the 1970s. Book has no spine creasing, no creased page corners, no spine lean, hint of wear to spine tips and to left/right on spine, no tearing at spine tip corners (common defect with these Perma James Bond books), tiny crease to top right corner on cover, almost no edge wear, no color rubbing to cover, red outside page edge stain has no drop spots or fading, outer page corners are sharp and nearly square, no foxing to pages or outer page edges, hint of age darkening to page edges, no former owner's markings or used book store stamps inside, rear cover is clean. Overall a VG+/FINE- book of an Ian Fleming 1st printing pb book. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Ian Fleming James Bond 1st printing hardcover appearances up for sale.
