A near fine, first print example of Signet's penultimate paperback, published in 1966, featuring one of the final covers painted by legendary artist, Barye Phillips. While both the UK Pan and US Signet paperbacks of The Man With The Golden Gun were both published in July 1966, this US paperback is significant, as it marks the first appearance of this title in paperback form, beating Pan to its general release. As per the blurb on the front, this book is 'on sale for the first time in paperback.' This book presents in near-fine condition, with a near unbroken spine, and is in virtually unread condition. Clean, unmarked, and bright inner pages. Very tightly-bound. A very clean example of this is a very hard-to-find in the UK. A superb example for all US Fleming paperback collectors.
