The first state of the dustjacket is identifiable by the lack of the two line credit on the front flap 'Jacket devised by the author and executed by Kenneth Lewis'. This was changed during the print run.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiberated by the encouraging response to his first novel, Fleming adopted a more adventurous style in this novel and in doing so developed his own 'informative journalistic' form of fiction which was to become characteristic of all the James Bond novels to follow. Certainly mentor and fellow writer William Plomer approved of the book, 'If I'm any judge, this is just the stuff - sexy, violent, ingenious and full of well-collected detail of all kinds.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst edition, first impression, first state; 8vo; publisher's black cloth with gilt titles and vignette, in the original unclipped printed first state dustjacket (without two line credit on front flap); a fine copy in a fine dustjacket, exceptionally crisp and bright.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"FLEMING, Ian.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57221621645687,"sku":"122817","price":30000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/4694\/1233\/files\/122817_0977de51-57ce-48c4-8e5b-15efa4ef7751.jpg?v=1782406489","url":"https:\/\/shapero.com\/products\/ian-fleming-live-let-die-first-edition-122817","provider":"Shapero Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
