OCTOPUSSY by Ian Fleming

Octopussy The Last 2 by Ian Fleming. New American Library, 1966. First printing indicated by statement on the copyright page, as seen in the photo. This collection also contains the story 'The Living Daylights.'

Given the success of James Bond by the time of this publication in 1966, you would have thought NAL would do a better job with the book. The format is octavo, boards are black paper with no cloth backstrap. Silver stylized rifle is embossed onto the front cover. Paper is fairly heavy stock. Cover price is $3.50. The Jacket itself has a photo of Fleming on the back smoking a cigarette in a holder, but is fairly flimsy and easily wrinkled and torn at the edges.
