Spine creased as usual, small pen mark to rear wrapper edge, old adhesive ghosting to first and last page; overall very good. "The proof of On Her Majesty's Secret Service has more errors and required more amendments than any other Fleming title, both in terms of careless composition and poor spelling..." Gilbert A.11.a.
