Jonathan Cape, 1967. Octavo. Original green wrappers decorated with white publisher's motif, lettered in black. A very good copy, spine creased and toned, foxing to edges, otherwise wrappers still sharp and contents clean. A scarce, uncorrected proof copy of the first edition. The most significant difference between the proof and the first UK edition can be seen on the half-title, and also the illustrated title page, where the title and the "003½" motif have been reversed. Ian Fleming's bibliographer, Jon Gilbert, notes that he has only seen one other copy of this proof. This copy is from the significant Ian Fleming collection of Martin Schøyen (b.1940), with his bookplate. Schøyen's private collection of manuscripts, which span all cultures and all time periods, is one of the largest and most comprehensive of its kind. Gilbert, p. 614; The Schøyen Collection No. 416.
