From Russia With Love: 1st/1st

Jonathan Cape. 1955 (256 pages): 1st/1st. FINE condition book in NEAR FINE unclipped first impression jacket. First impression print run: just 15,000. Printed with a predominantly brown design, this title is typically found badly sunned, with brittle, split or disintegrating jackets. As such, very-good surviving examples are extremely hard to find. This example has a lovely bright, clean jacket, with some, but not significant daylight exposure to the spine. Features some minor fraying at the very top, but all-told, very good. Very small closed tear near top of gun on the face of the DJ and at the very bottom of the jacket near the spine fold, but otherwise in excellent condition for this title. Book boards superb conditon - square, and tight. Inner pages magnificently white; no inner markings or blemishes. No annotations or inscriptions. White page blook too (seldom found). A stunning example, numerically scarce, and scarcer still in this resplendent overall condition.
