What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first US edition. 

With the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper. 

'License Renewed' is the first Bond novel by John Gardner, serving as the first proper James Bond novel since Kingsley Amis' 'Colonel Sun' in 1968 and successfully relaunching the Bond literary franchise. 

After being informed that the "00" section has been abolished, Bond is assigned to investigate Dr. Anton Murik, a brilliant nuclear physicist who is thought to have been having meetings with a terrorist named Franco Oliveiro Quesocriado.

Condition

In the original cloth binding. With the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with mild shelf wear only. Dust wrapper is very smart, with most notable edge wear to the spine head. Small tape reinforcement made to the inside of the front cover for a small closed tear. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with only a very minor mark to the front free endpaper.
