Calling all Ian Fleming and James Bond collectors!

Here for sale is a vintage and original first edition, first impression of the Ian Fleming James Bond novel, Thunderball published by Jonathan Cape in 1961 in excellent condition. 

The book exterior is in lovely condition. The covers are still a strong black colour and square. There are some marks, bumps and small areas of shelf wear to the extremities, but these are minor and consummate with age.

The spine is also in great condition with the black colour, gold titles and Cape logo still prominent. Complete, straight and with tight binding. There is some minor shelf wear to the extremities, but all minor. Please do see photos for exact condition.

Internally, the book is generally clean, with white and bright pages with no inscriptions. But there is a small and faded mark on the very back page - a date stamp. Plus there some browning to the text block, but this is minor.

The dust jacket is an original from 1961. Unclipped (price of 15s.net) and also in very good condition. There are only a few minor signs of its age with some small scuffs, bumps and a split to the join with the front flap. Please see pics. The spine has the wood grain and titles still fairly prominent but has darkened. Now housed in a removable plastic sleeve for future protection.

So a unique opportunity to own a first edition, first print Ian Fleming book in great condition with an original dust jacket. Sent with Royal Mail 48.
