Jonathan Cape 1965 (221 pages): FINE condition. A truly rare example of Ian Fleming's final full-length novel, featuring not just the rare WHITE end papers (used when the standard 'marbled' sheets ran out), but also featuring the rarest of the three foil types used on the spine - bronze. Just 5,127 copies were stamped in bronze, out of the total print run of nearly 82,000 [Gilbert]. Just 3,204 books were bound with white end papers. It's the combination of having white end papers with bronze foil that makes this example exceptionally unusual. I've personally NEVER seen this combination. All the other white end paper examples I've seen have featured the standard gold or white gold foil. This book is in exceptional condition, with snow-white inner pages that have absolutely no aging to them at all. With an all-round superior jacket showing no sunning/marks/bumps or tears at all. No marks to the inner pages at all. Has a clean, white page block with just the slightest hint of dispersed spotting to the top page block. The book is square and tight, with still-crisp guillotined edges that signify virtually no sign of being thumbed. A true rarity.
