DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER

FLEMING, Ian

Verlag: Cape, 1956

Beschreibung

First edition. Publisher's advance binding. Original bright blue cloth, lettered silver to the spine, with the Cape logo at the base of the spine as well as the publisher's name. Top edge red. A near fine copy, with a little foxing to the page edges. Gilbert's bibliography has suggested that the Cape archives reveal this to be one of 300 copies issued to G Blunt & Sons some four weeks before publication for institutional distribution. It has also been suggested that this is trial binding for internal use. The extreme scarcity of copies in commerce and the apparent absence of copies bearing library markings question this suggestion, but it is just conceivable that those copies destined for heavier use in libraries have been destroyed, leaving only those retained by the publishers or for use in a more domestic setting. In either case, they were not commercially issued and are now of notable rarity. Gilber A4a (Blue Cloth Vairiant). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 44349
