Casino Royale First Edition Ian Fleming
by Ian Fleming
One of the most important,
desirable fine and rare books in the modern first edition field.
Originally published, the first edition in 1953, by Jonathan Cape, the book was an immediate success and has gone on to legendary status today.
Ian Fleming Casino Royale 1st Edition
The forthcoming film is likely to further bolster the rare book market and possibly boost the value. Personally I believe it more likely to consolidate the current price rather than dramatically increase.
If you are looking to buy a first edition in original dust jacket you would be advised to do so sooner rather than later. It is a rare book that continues to increase in value.
You would be well advised to check an Ian Fleming bibliography before purchasing, thereby ensuring it meets all the 1st edition issue points.
Possibly seek an expert valuation or appraisal - better safe than sorry !
Needless to say avoid ebay - unless dealing with an established and well known rare book dealer
