£2,000.00
First edition, first printing of Diamonds are Forever by Ian Fleming, published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1956. A near fine copy free from internal inscriptions, some tarnishing to the silver titling on the spine, minor shelf wear to front and rear boards, pushing to the head of the spine and rear upper corner, toning to the text block and foxing to prelims. In a very good unclipped wrapper, the heel of the spine rub-worn, chipping to the head of the spine and knuckles of front and rear flap folds, fading to the spine and toning to the rear panel and flaps. In a custom made solander box.
“Diamonds Are Forever,” written by Ian Fleming, is the fourth novel in the James Bond series. Published in 1956, it had a significant impact on popular culture and the spy thriller genre. The novel introduced the iconic character, Tiffany Case, and explored themes of diamond smuggling and international espionage, setting the stage for many Bond films to come. Moreover, it continued to establish James Bond as a global literary and cinematic icon, filmed in 1971, shaping the image of the suave, sophisticated, and action-oriented secret agent. The book’s enduring popularity contributed to the long-lasting success of the Bond franchise in both literature and film.
