IAN FLEMING - CASINO ROYALE - UK 1ST PENGUIN 2008 CENTENARY EDITION w/DJ N-FINE

Description: IAN FLEMING - CASINO ROYALE, copyright 1953, published by UK publisher Penguin in 2008, First Printing ("1" numbered centered on copyright page - there was a 2nd printing of this book that states as such), 14.99p price on DJ front flap. Note - released for the 100 anniversary of Fleming's birth, Penguin released a uniform set of paperbacks and hardcovers (all sold individually) of each of the 14 James Bond books (using the same white cover background art) - most of these books were sold to U.K. libraries (and most clean copies are in complete sets by die-hard collectors) so finding clean copies of these books is very difficult. SHOP AND COMPARE - ANOTHER COPY OF THIS BOOK IS LISTED FOR SALE AT $184 - SEE EBAY 404479392658 Book has no creased page corners, hint of age darkening to outer page edges (no dust soiling/foxing), no former ownership markings or used bookstore stamps/stickers inside, clean endpapers with no scotch tape marks or discoloration or foxing, no internal hinge splitting, no wear to board edges, no wear/shelf rubbing to board corners/spine tips corners, no bump board corners, no soiling/markings to boards, no wear/oxidizing to gilt spine lettering. Dust Jacket has no chipping, tearing or creasing, no wear to spine tips, no wear to front flap crease, no wear to left/right on spine, no edge wear, no spine sun darkening, no soiling/staining to panels or spine. Overall a N-FINE book in N-FINE condition dust jacket (not price clipped) of an Ian Fleming U.K. first printing hardcover book. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Ian Fleming James Bond 1st printing hardcover appearances up for auction on ebay - just click on the 'see other items' link to the right of the picture. NOTE - MEDIA MAIL ROUTINELY TAKES 3-4 WEEKS (REGARDLESS OF WHAT EBAY MAY SAY - THEY DON'T CONTROL THE POST OFFICE). For U.S. buyers, both priority mail (3-5 days) and media mail (3-4 weeks) shipping options will be listed in the ebay invoice (or if the book is a paperback or small magazine both 1st class mail (5-7 days) and media mail shipping options will be listed in the ebay invoice) - SIMPLY CLICK ON THE BLUE 'OTHER SHIPPING OPTIONS' LINK IN THE INVOICE TO SEE BOTH SHIPPING OPTIONS/COST. DELIVERY CONFIRMATION IS NOT TRACKING (despite what ebay and paypal want to call it - again they don't control the U.S. post office). Delivery confirmation is merely what it says it is - it confirms delivery to prevent fraudulent chargebacks of claimed unreceived items (which is why I don't charge for delivery confirmation in the shipping costs). Also, since I print shipping labels from home (as opposed to purchasing shipping at the post office), the delivery confirmation number IS NOT SCANNED BY THE POST OFFICE AT THIS END. Therefore, in most cases, the first time that the Post Office will show anything when you check the delivery confirmation number is when the package hits your local post office/sorting center (basically the day before its delivered to you). Occasionally (about 25% of the time) a package will get scanned at the Federal Way, WA transfer station, but in the vast majority of the cases the delivery confirmation won't show anything until basically the day before you get the package. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS WON (if you would like estimates of what combined shipping costs might be for a certain group of auctions, please e-mail me before the auctions close but a very rough estimate is $.50-$1.00 per additional book for media mail, $1.00-$2.00 per additional book for priority mail, and $6.00-$7.00 per additional book for international mail). As for returns -All items are used (not new) books and therefore are sold as-is, which is why I try to provide a fairly detailed description of the item itself (i.e. what it is and what it is not) as well its specific condition, noting any significant defects (for collectible items). Book grades are provided in the posting, however book grading standards/categories very widely from seller to seller, so please do not rely solely on the grade that I have given a book or ebay's provided "condition" box description, without considering the specific condition/defects described for that particular book. I do, on occasion, miss a significant defect in an item or simply make a cut/paste error in the description (i.e. an error in the description from using a prior posting as the "shell" for this book's description), and for collectible items, if that happens, on a case-by-case basis I do issue a full refund (including the cost of return shipping) depending upon the collectible significance of the undisclosed defect.
