General Notes
The limited edition was priced at 63s (rather than 16s) but has proved a good investment as copies now sell for over £12,000 ($18,000). One of the reasons these editions are highly valued is that you can be sure the signature is genuine, the same can not be said for many other books “signed” by Fleming. Note that the edition number on the copy shown has been obscured at the request of the owner.
