I got this cool old Casino Royale book from the thrift store today

Cafe Society
#1

reprinted in 1959

I’d never seen this edition before
on the first page it’s signed “Ian Flemind”


of course finding a random copy at a thrift store you have no way of knowing if it’s real or not

it does look like his other signatures though http://www.rodcollins.com/wordpress/authenticate-signed-ian-fleming-books
what do you think
irregardless even if it’s fake it’s still a cool old cover

(Am not an expert) Seems authentic to me. You also have the dust jacket, which is good. Condition is not great but I don’t think it matters that much for non-first-editions… I would expect this to be worth at least a few hundred $, maybe a bit more. Find an expert to price it for you, you may be surprised. Good luck.

I thought it was bogus because I didn’t recognize the jacket design.

But I’m not as smart as I thought.

Jonathan Cape, 4th edition
