Moonraker
Cape, 1955.
First edition. Original black cloth with silver embossed titles, in striking 'flames' dustwrapper. A fine copy in a fine dustwrapper, exceptionally bright and crisp with a mainly unfaded spine, just showing a little loss of colour from the some of the orange.
The third James Bond books, and Fleming's narrative style is now well established displaying his own brand of polished suspense. Cape's confidence in Fleming is evident as well, with 10,500 copies of the first edition published. The materials used for the dustwrapper however (cheap, soft paper printed in orange and yellow, which fades, on a white background, which soils) mean that copies as well preserved and bright as this are of the utmost rarity.
