SIGNED LIMITED EDITION
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Cape, 1963.
First edition, deluxe issue, number 128 of 250 copies, signed by the author. Original quarter vellum over black boards in publisher's original clear glassine dustwrapper. Top edge gilt. Frontispiece illustration of Fleming by Amhurst Villiers not included in the trade edition. A fine copy with an unusually clean vellum spine. Page edges slightly tanned with a small mark to the fore edge. The glassine shows a couple of tears, but is mainly complete.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the only Bond novel to be issued in this deluxe format and is uncommon by dint of its limitation. Over time, the vellum has shown a tendency to yellow, and copies in such nice condition, with the original glassine, are scarce.
