You Asked For It (aka 'Casino Royale] - US first paperback printing - 1955
You Asked For It (aka 'Casino Royale') - Popular Library - April 1955 - Near fine-to-Fine condition softcover. Very clean example of this hard-to-find book - the first paperback appearance in the US of Casino Royale. Features bright, clean wrappers, a strong un-cracked spine, and all-clean inner pages. Sharp corners, very good condition. No internal annotations. With standard green-edged block, that is only slightly forward leaning. This rare paperback (print number unknown, but believed to be very small), serves as a fascinating outlier book for Bond collectors, renamed as it was for American audiences [to the reported chagrin of Fleming himself, whose own suggestions, 'The Double-O Agent' and 'The Deadly Gamble', were rejected]. Very scarce now, even more scare in this exceptionally well-presented condition.
