FLEMING, IAN.
From Russia, With Love.
Stock Code 105492
London, Jonathan Cape, 1957
£4,250
The fifth of Fleming's James Bond titles, considered to be the best. In a contemporary review The Times Literary Supplement described this as Fleming's 'tautest, most exciting and most brilliant tale'. It is the first Bond novel with a jacket by Richard Chopping, who went on to execute many of the subsequent Bond covers, often in collaboration with Fleming himself.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; publisher's black boards (Gilbert's Binding A) stamped in silver & red. With the Richard Chopping dust jacket. An exceptionally sharp copy in an unusually bright dust jacket with tiny loss at the corners and a small, trivial abrasion to the edge of the front flap.

Bibliography
Gilbert A5a 1.1.
