A very good copy in good Leo Manso-designed dust wrapper, non-price-clipped ($2.75) but with two inches of loss from the base of the spine panel, and a touch of toning, soiling, nicking and wear, and with several small areas of taped internal repair and just a trace of fading to the publishers red spine panel colouring. The first James Bond novel. This American edition, initially rejected by three US publishers, was issued eleven months after the original UK edition, but sales were surprisingly poor, c.4000 copies sold throughout 1954 (in the UK more than that were sold in the first month)..
