The Man with the Golden Gun by Ian Fleming, Published by Jonathan Cape in London in 1965.
FIRST EDITION FIRST IMPRESSION in its original first state dust jacket in notably excellent condition.
-------------------
This is the first impression with the second state binding without the gold gun to the front board as often. The dust jacket is in its first state.
Size: 132 x 193 mm (approx.)
Condition:
[viii, pp.9-221]
Fully original black cloth binding without restoration, rebacking etc. The boards and spine are both in fine condition with some very light rubbing to the head of the spine, without loss. Very minor shelf wear. A few spots of foxing to the fore edge of the page block and more to the top edge. Internally very clean throughout. Some erased pencil to the half title which is almost imperceptible. Without any foxing through the text block. No creases, no writing, stains, etc, internally fine.
The dust jacket is externally very bright and shows well without significant wear. Some light wear at folds. Price clipped. Minor toning at the head of the dust jacket. Cellotape has been attached to the inside of the dust jacket across the head of the spine panel and on the outside of the dust jacket at the foot of the dust jacket across the inner edges of the front and rear panels. This is however quite difficult to notice. Without the cellotape the dust jacket would be near fine, however given the presence of this it is more of a vg- dust jacket.
