LIVE AND LET DIEDust Jacket in facsimile
for the
James Bond book
first U
K edition
.
This is a Facsimile dust jacket for the first UK edition edition of the book
LIVE AND LET DIE
by Ian Fleming and
the 2nd
book of the James Bond series published in 1954.
No book is included.
The original dust jacket was digitally scanned restored from an original by fine artist John Anthony Miller and has been trimmed, enclosed in a Mylar jacket protector. It has been printed with archival inks on 120GSM paper. This jacket will come to you pre-folded and boxed and ready to put on your book. Out of the USA orders, the jacket will be sent the most economical way, which is to lightly fold the jacket along the rear flap and then insert a buffer board inside and then enclose that in a priority envelope.
The jacket is marked, tastefully only the
back
jacket flap edge "Facsimile Dust Jacket" as shown. Additionally, this dust jacket has a label affixed to the VERSO of the jacket, stating that it is a
facsimile dust jacket
and signed by John Anthony Miller. I have marked the jacket to make sure it is not sold as an original. Removing the signed
label
from the verso will destroy the jacket. Signing it makes it collectible as folks are now collecting my jacket work. These jackets will never ever be mass produced and are printed one at a time by myself.

There are more very favourable comments about my work in reconstructing these time-consuming facsimile jackets on the feedback section under the Phantom Bookshop Store. Too many to mention here.
