Details
FLEMING, Ian (1908-1964)
Live and Let Die. London: Jonathan Cape, 1954.
A very fresh and attractive example of the first edition, first impression, first issue. Written before the first James Bond book, Casino Royale, had been published, Live and Let Die is the 'breath-taking hunt for secret treasure that takes Bond to Harlem, Florida and Jamaica', the last of which was Fleming's adopted home. Gilbert A2a (1.1).
Octavo. (Tiny marginal spots in final two leaves.) Publisher’s black cloth, upper cover stamped in gilt with an Edward IV gold rose noble coin, spine lettered in gilt, original dust-jacket, first state before the additional text to the front flap, front-flap price-clipped (trivial spots to rear panel); housed in custom black quarter morocco case.
