Ian Fleming, Casino Royale | 1953, an excellent first edition, first impression with the first state dustjacket.
The all-too rare first edition of Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale is key to many a collection and as the first book in the James Bond series, it is one of most in demand books on the market. Interestingly the dustjacket was designed by Ian Fleming himself. To have a first edition, first impression of the text with a first issue of said dustjacket is a notorious rarity and a serious investment piece.
