THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with bronze titles to the spine, in the Richard Chopping illustrated dustwrapper. Green patterned endpapers. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a light bump to the top of the spine and bottom edge of the rear board, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper, that has a tiny short closed tear to the top edge of the rear panel and is otherwise free from fading or loss. Not price-clipped (18s to the front flap).

[Gilbert A13a (1.3 First impression, first issue, second state, binding B)], preceded only by the issue of 940 copies with the gilt stamped gun on the upper board.
