Book description:  Published by Jonathan Cape in 1961, this is the 1st edition, 1st impression of 'Thunderball' by Ian Fleming.

There is no dust-jacket.  The brown boards with the impression of the skeletal hand are in very good condition.  The gilt is bright and unfaded on the spine. The pages are clean, white and tight throughpout.  There is a name and address on the back of the front board.  At the top of page 187 there is a very tiny tear (see photo).

A very good first edition of this collectable book.
