Here is an unique opportunity to own the very rare copy of "Dr No" first edition, fifth printing by Ian Fleming published in 1962. This is the first and only Dr No printing with the 'yellow band' (it had a small print run due to the imminent film release), a series of paperbacks released by Pan in the 1960's. A must for all paperback collectors! 

The book is in very good condition; still tight and compact with very few signs of its age. There are small scuffs and bumps to the edges and joins. The covers are still bright and colourful. 

The spine is also very good. Straight, complete and square with only faint creasing and slight fade to the colours. There is a small split to the bottom but it is still attached.

Inside, there are no inscriptions and markings. Plus the pages are clean but there is some moderate browning to the pages edges and text block. Please see photos for exact condition.

Overall a very good (and rare) addition to any collection of Ian Fleming Pan editions. Dispatched with Royal Mail 48.
