Genuine Fleming signatures.

UK BOOK CLUB EDITIONS WERE USUALLY PUBLISHED THE SAME YEAR AS THE FIRST EDITION AND AS FAR AS I
KNOW ONLY HAD THE 1 PRINT RUN , SO ALL WOULD BE 1ST BOOK CLUB EDITION'S.

Fairly common and doesn't seem to be as desirable
as the Fleming novels or the later ones by other authers.
UK Book club edition by The Companion
Book Club.Different DJ design from the Cape 1st.Also was issued as a Delux edition in a leather look-a-like
binding and slightly different DJ and seems to be more collectible than the standard book club edition.
