Ian Fleming – Goldfinger – First UK Edition 1959
£2,250.00
A first edition, first printing published by Cape in 1959. A near fine book without inscriptions. The dust wrapper is priced 15s net and is near fine with some wear to the corners and to the spine – the spine, unusually, is not browned as is usually found and is rare thus. ‘Goldfinger’ by Ian Fleming is the seventh James Bond novel, published in 1959. It follows British secret agent James Bond as he investigates the mysterious and wealthy Auric Goldfinger, suspected of gold smuggling. Bond uncovers a sinister plot called “Operation Grand Slam,” in which Goldfinger plans to contaminate the U.S. gold reserve at Fort Knox. The novel blends espionage, action, and suspense, showcasing Bond’s wit and resilience against a cunning, gold-obsessed villain. A presentable example of the first edition.
