John F. Kennedy's favourite book and the first Bond novel with the iconic dust jacket designed by Richard Chopping, who went on to execute many of the subsequent Bond covers, often in collaboration with Fleming himself.
First edition, first impression. Original publisher's black cloth, spine and upper side stamped in silver and metallic red, dust-jacket designed by Richard Chopping. A near-fine example of the jacket and internally near-fine.
Published by Jonathan Cape, London, 1957.
