Descripción

IAN FLEMING - YOU ASKED FOR IT (aka CASINO ROYALE), published by Popular Library, #660, copyright 1953, states "Popular Library Edition -- Published in April 1955" - THERE WAS ONLY ONE PRINTING OF THIS PB EDITION PUBLISHED BY Popular Library - Popular Library had not only changed the title of "Casino Royale" to "You Asked For It" without Fleming's approval but they also changed James Bond to "Jimmy Bond" - Fleming quickly fired Popular Library and then retained Perma Books as his U.S. pb publisher (who in turn then did the same thing by changing the title of "Moonraker" to "Too Hot To Handle" - causing fleming to fire Perma Books as his U.S. pb publisher and changed to Signet as his U.S. pb publisher). Book has no vertical spine creasing, no creased page corners from prior reading (small crease to a group of related pages due to poor handling/storage), no spine lean, no wear to spine tips or to left/right on spine, no tearing at spine tip corners, no cover creases (just creasing to left edge from opening of cover), hint of edge wear, almost no color rubbbing to cover (common defect with this book), green outside page edge stain has no drop spots or fading, outer page corners are sharp and square, no foxing to pages or endpapers or outer page edges, hint of age darkening to page edges, no former owner's markings or used book store stamps inside, rear cover is clean. Overall a FINE-/N-FINE book of an Ian Fleming 1st printing pb book. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Ian Fleming James Bond 1st printing hardcover appearances up for sale.
