Four rare and beautiful James Bond novels by Ian Fleming

Fleming, Ian - 4 rare first editons in beautiful condition ...

Fleming, Ian
 
1.    Casino Royale. London: Jonathan Cape, 1953. First Edition, First Printing. A near fine copy in a near fine second issue dustwrapper (with Christopher Pym's review in the Sunday Times over-printed on front flap and "The Author" on the rear panel). A most collectable copy of this scarce title: no inscriptions or flaws, book and dustwrapper completely original, never ever having been touched by any restorer. Compared to the copies that have been on the market since 2015, this is one of the really desirable ones. Only 4728 copies (plus a few proofs and review ones) of the first edition were printed, 2400 of which came with the second state dustwrapper. Sadly, most collections of James Bond novels in first editions, first printings lack Casino Royale since its initial print-run was pretty low, sold out very fast and a considerable number of the very first edition went to libraries.
