A desirable true first edition of You Only Live Twice by Ian Fleming, published by Jonathan Cape in 1964. This is the eleventh title in the James Bond series and the first to be published after Fleming’s death. Notable for its striking Richard Chopping dust jacket and unique Japanese-script gilt titling on the front board. Printed by Ebenezer Baylis & Son, Ltd, bound by A.W. Bain, with no mention of subsequent printings — confirming its first edition status.
Measures:
Octavo (approx.): 19.3 cm x 13.2 cm
C O N D I T I O N:
Complete with original dust jacket (unclipped). Some foxing throughout, primarily to outer page edges and prelims. Dust jacket has light surface wear and age toning but presents well overall. No owner's inscriptions or stamps. A sound, collectible copy of a major Bond title.
