Thunderball | 1961, near-fine first edition.

A superb example of this classic James Bond first edition - this might be my favourite dustjacket ever made by the indomitable Richard Chopping.

First edition, first impression, first state binding. Original black cloth with blind stamped skeletal hand on upper cover, in the pictorial dustjacket, with a striking design by Richard Chopping. A near-fine example.
