About This Item

London: Pan, 1965. Dust Jacket. (London: Pan Books Ltd 1965). First UK Paperback Edition (with NOT FOR SALE IN U.K.) on the rear cover. This is a near fine un-read copy with toned pages due to the poor quality of paper used with a tiny, closed tear on the first page and faint evidence of a former price in pencil rubbed out. This copy has the exceedingly rare "Movie Tie-In" promotional dust wrapper. The D/W is clean and bright with a little (4mm at its deepest) paper loss at the top of the spine, a few minor creases and nicks and a date (1964 12) in either a dark pencil or a biro on the front. Unusually the joints (which are usually worn) have no wear whatsoever and scarce thus. All-in-all a near fine copy of this fragile item. These Movie Tie-In dust wrappers were added to a small number of copies of old stock of the paperback first edition to help clear old stock. Copies with this promotional wrapper are very rare and finding a genuine one (in collectable condition) is perhaps the most difficult challenge for a collector of Fleming first edition books. Photographs/scans available upon request.

Synopsis

Bond, a shattered man after the death of his wife at the hands of Ernst Stavro Blofeld, has gone to pieces as an agent, endangering himself and his fellow operatives. M, unwilling to accept the loss of one of his best men, sends 007 to Japan for one last, near-impossible mission. But Japan proves to be Bond's downfall, leading him to a mysterious residence known as the 'Castle of Death' where he encounters an old enemy revitalized. All the omens suggest that this is the end for the British agent and, for once, even Bond himself seems unable to disagree...
