Description:
First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Jan Pienkowski illustrated dustwrapper based on the 'trompe l'oeil' paintings by Richard Chopping reproduced on the James Bond Books. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with light rubbing to the bottom edge of the boards and spine and a little creasing across the lower board. The contents, with light dustiness to the closed text block, are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the near fine lightly rubbed dustwrapper, that is a little creased on front panel and is otherwise free from fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (16s net to the front flap).
