London, Jonathan Cape, 1964
A very good copy of the final book in the 'Blofield trilogy', largely set in Japan where Fleming had travelled on assignment in 1959 leading to the section in his Thrilling Cities book.
First edition, first impression, first state (without 'March' on © page), small abrasion to front free endpaper, original black boards with gilt-stamped Japanese characters to upper cover and lettered in silver to spine, a sharp, tight copy, dust-jacket featuring wrap-around allegorical design by Richard Chopping, slight tanning to spine, overall a clean bright example.
