Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. HARDBACK - THIRD IMPRESSION - The book is in near fine condition. The book is signed by the author to the front end paper. Ian Fleming has signed the book I.L. Fleming instead of the customary Ian Fleming. This is the only time we have encountered a fleming signature, signed in this way. The book comes from the library of Stanley Meyer, who was a Hollywood producer, who met Fleming in 1956, and expressed an interest in buying the rights to film Live and Let Die and Moonraker. There is a neat Stanley and Dodo Meyer book plate to the centre of the front endpaper. The books boards are clean with just a small bump to the bottom corner of the front board. The inner pages are clean, and free of foxing. The dust wrapper is in near fine condition, with no loss, and is correctly priced at 13s.6d.net. A very nice association copy. Signed by Author(s).
