The Man With The Golden Gun

Jonathan Cape, London, 1965 | First Edition

One of the classic James Bond novels in its original British edition, The Man with the Golden Gun was Ian Fleming's final Bond novel and was published posthumously by Jonathan Cape in 1965.

This copy is a first edition, first impression, “First published 1965”. It retains the publisher's original black cloth binding.

The book is accompanied by a facsimile of Richard Chopping's memorable dust jacket, featuring the golden revolver, bullets, and flies. The jacket is clearly represented here as a later facsimile and is not being offered as original.

Fleming died in August 1964, before the book's publication, making The Man with the Golden Gun the last full-length James Bond novel written by Fleming and an important title for anyone building a collection of the original Jonathan Cape Bond books.
