Ian Fleming – From Russia With Love – First UK Edition 1957 – SIGNED by Dust Wrapper Artist Richard Chopping
£9,500.00
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 and SIGNED by him with full name (Richard.W. Chopping) to the front end-flap. The very good dust wrapper is not price clipped and has some internal repair with chipping to the extremities – two thin stains to the rear panel. The boards are in very good 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 spotting present. In clamshell box
Richard Chopping illustrated nine dust-jackets in Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels, starting with From Russia, With Love. His covers are instantly recognisable for their trompe-l’œil style and use of tea chest font.
The fifth title in the James Bond series.
