Ian Fleming – From Russia With Love – First UK Edition 1957
£3,500.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Jonathan Cape, London, in 1957. This is a very good copy. The dust wrapper is finely illustrated by Richard Chopping. It suffers from some separation and rubbing at the top right-hand corners and spine tips, with some slight toning to the top edge also present. It has been neatly price clipped at all four corners. The boards are in fine condition, with no notable chips and marks to note, aside from a very slight lean. The red embossed title on the spine is bright, and the gun and rose motif is bright and glistening. This is free from previous owner’s ink. The text blocks are generally clean, but have some rare instances of marking present. Overall, this is a stunning surviving copy from the original 15,000 printed in 1957 and is in very good condition.
The fifth title in the James Bond series.
