Ian Fleming | You Only Live Twice, 1964, first state, binding A, uncorrected proof dust-jacket

Ian Fleming

You Only Live Twice. London: Jonathan Cape, 1964

8vo, FIRST EDITION, FIRST STATE, binding A, uncorrected proof dust-jacket, collector's half morocco clamshell box

The proof jacket is entirely unclipped and overly wide, having not been trimmed to size, and features textual differences to the published version plus the erroneous design copyright on the rear flap, however the 'proof only' notice is omitted from the flap. This example has always been paired with a hardcover book. If paired with a softcover proof, the folds would differ.
