The Spy Who Loved Me by Ian Fleming (Book Club Edition, 1962)

Description: An early Book Club Edition of Ian Fleming's James Bond novel, "The Spy Who Loved Me". This hardback edition was issued by The Book Club (London) and features the original 1962 publication date on the copyright page. It includes the distinctive dust jacket with artwork by Cutler, which differs from the true first edition design.

Please note: This is a Book Club Edition (BCE), identifiable by "THIS EDITION ISSUED BY THE BOOK CLUB" on the dust jacket flap and title page. BCEs were produced for club members and are generally distinct from, and less collectible than, the original publisher's first edition (Jonathan Cape, in this case).

Condition:

• Dust Jacket: Poor to Fair condition. The jacket is largely complete but shows significant wear, including noticeable chipping and small losses at the spine ends and corners, edge wear, rubbing, creases, and general surface grubbiness.
• Boards: The blue cloth boards are in Good condition, relatively clean with clear spine titling. Minor bumps to corners/spine ends possible.
• Pages: The pages show age-related tanning, particularly noticeable on the edges, and potentially some light foxing. Text block appears complete.
• Binding: Appears intact and reasonably tight based on images.

Contents: The tenth book in Ian Fleming's James Bond series, notable for its narrative perspective.
