Here for sale is the true first edition of the Ian Fleming James Bond novel, From Russia with Love published by the Book Club in 1957, featuring the rejected Jonathan Cape pages. One of only 12,728 copies ever printed.

The book is in very good condition. Internally the pages are clean with white, bright pages. Plus the are no marks and only one inscription on the first page (see photo). There is also very little browning to the page edges and to the text block.

The covers are still blue, but have a few marks and some small bumps to the edges. The spine is also in good condition. Straight and complete but is sunned and with shelf wear to the extremities. All consummate with age. Please see photos for exact condition.

So overall, in very good condition considering the age of the book - 67 years old. Please see photos for exact condition.

The dust jacket is an excellent facsimile of the first print/first impression dust jacket published by Jonathan Cape in 1957, which presents the book superbly. So an unique opportunity to own a first edition for the fraction of the cost for the 'Cape' original black cover version.
