Ian Fleming – The Blofeld Trilogy (Comprising: Thunderball, On Her Majesty’s Service, You Only Live Twice).
A set of first edition, first printings in their original 1st issue Dustwrappers, published by Cape between 1961-64.
These are from my own collection and I've read each of them again recently to confirm the below.
This isn't a fine set but that makes it easier on one's conscience when reading them.
What I like about them is that there are no inscriptions whatsoever and none of the books are ex-library, the dustwrappers are the originals for each of the books and none have been price clipped.
Dustwrappers:
The correct original wrapper for each of the three books.
Rubbed, marked and worn with small edge tears and slight loss.
There is a fold mark (not a tear) that runs from the bottom of the spine of Thunderball and through the letters 'T' and 'H' - please see the photos.
Books:
Boards lightly rubbed, bumped and marked.
Base of spine of Thunderball chipped.
Some foxing to text block edge.
The binding of each book is holding well.
No tears.
A few marks / fox spots to a few pages though the majority of the pages in each book is clear.
No names, inscriptions nor bookplates and none of the three are ex-library.
Postage:
UK and mainland US only thanks.
Rest assured this will be well packed.
Photos of the packaging in progress will be provided to the purchaser.
VAT / CUSTOMS TAXES
Please note that any customs charges or VAT charges are always the buyers responsibility to pay.
This
has nothing to do with me and I do not benefit financially from it - it
is all done by ebay and I have no control over how much they will
charge you.
