1963ref. 355490718732New York: Nel 1963. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. Signed by Author. New American Library September 1963. First US Edition. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. A contemporary non-authorial gift inscription on the FFEP otherwise a near fine copy in a price-clipped D/W that is VG indeed with a small chip from the top right hand edge of the back panel. The US first edition of this title is significantly rarer than its UK counterpart. SIGNED by IAN FLEMING on the HALF-TITLE. Although Fleming's usual practice was to sign on the FFEP it is perhaps understandable why on this occasion he decided to sign on the half-title because of the coloured end-papers and the gift inscription already there in another hand on the FFEP. Signed American first editions are uncommon and turn up far less frequently than their UK counterparts. The Fleming signature in this book is in blue biro and is somewhat faded but is a classic example of his hand. Photographs/scans available upon request. Nel hardcover

A near fine copy with a crease to the front cover whereas the Domino Letter in fine condition. Promotional copy for Player's Cigarettes with Domino letter included. This is the correct 14th printing used for this promotion which includes a printed note purportedly handwritten by Domino to James Bond. The first issue status of the printed note is proven by the presence of a watermark which can be clearly seen when the letter is placed up to the light. The letter mentions Player's Cigarettes asking Bond to read pages 152 -155 in the accompanying book unashamedly mentioning Player's Cigarettes. The letter measures 227mm × 149 mm and is folded twice as called for. A very attractive copy of a scarce piece of Bondiana. Photographs/scans available upon request. Pan
