Near
Fine in Near Fine- Dust Jacket. A very nice smart copy, the book itself
is mostly clean and solid with just a hint of age-toning, and a former
owner signature on the front end-paper. The dust jacket is all there,
slit to top back edge, smudges to lower bottom edge and upper right-hand
corner, and a tiny nick to corner with typical toning to the back,
common with books printed prior to circa 1970. Still overall a very
clean presentable copy, for about half the price of a perfect copy which
runs $1000+ with many booksellers asking $2000+. Priced to sell.
PLUS Bonus Book:
The Man with the Golden Gun by Ian Fleming Hardcover First US Edition - First Printing
New American Library (NAL) 1965. Fine in Fine- Dust Jacket. Offered as a
free book only, not reflective of the price of "The Spy Who Loved Me".
NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.
ALSO: The picture is the actual item for sale. (The picture is NOT a stock photo.)
Synopsis

A far cry from the privileged world she was born to, the motel is also the destination of two hardened killers—the perverse Sol Horror and the deadly Sluggsy Morant. When a coolly charismatic Englishman turns up, Viv, in terrible danger, is not just hopeful, but fascinated. Because he is James Bond, 007; the man she hopes will save her, the spy she hopes will love her …
