This well-loved copy of Ian Fleming’s “Doctor No” offers collectors a chance to own an early edition of the sixth novel in the iconic James Bond series. Published in 1958, just four years after the debut of Casino Royale, this thrilling tale finds 007 investigating the mysterious disappearance of a fellow British agent in Jamaica. Fleming’s vivid descriptions of the Caribbean setting and his introduction of the villain Dr. No set the stage for one of Bond’s most memorable adventures. While the paperback shows signs of its age, the readable interior preserves Fleming’s taut prose and the groundbreaking story that inspired the 1962 film starring Sean Connery. A cornerstone of the Bond canon, this affordable copy provides an opportunity to experience the origins of one of literature’s most enduring espionage heroes.
