Description

Paperback cover has some wear, and lies unevenly due to a dent. The pages are clean and the binding is secure.

This well-loved copy of Ian Fleming’s second James Bond novel, “Live and Let Die,” offers collectors and readers a portal into the early days of one of the most iconic literary characters of the 20th century.

Fleming’s descriptive prowess and attention to detail bring the lush tropical locales to life, immersing readers in a world of intrigue and danger. While this particular copy shows signs of wear from its journey through the hands of previous owners, its well-preserved pages and sturdy binding ensure that Bond’s exploits can continue to captivate new generations of readers. A true gem for fans of spy fiction and a testament to the enduring appeal of Fleming’s literary creation.
