Leicester: Thorpe / Ulverscroft 1975. [Spy novel] FIRST EDITION THUS. Large print. Octavo (22 x 14cm), pp.[iv]; 394; [2]. Publisher's hardcovers in typographic dust-jacket. Page edges toned, ex-library with usual markings and declassification, associated general wear; jacket is actually quite bright and fresh. A genuinely scarce book in jacket, no other copy being available at the time of writing. An important edition; this is the first ever British large print version of any James Bond novel; issued exclusively to lending libraries these are virtually impossible to obtain without institutional markings. One for the James Bond completist! Gilbert A3a(12).
