Ian Fleming - Diamonds are Forever (Pan edition)

First published in the U.K. by Jonathan Cape (hardback) in 1956. First paperback edition published by Great Pan (G101) in 1958, though this ninth printing is dated 1962. Cover art is not credited, though there is a signature to the left of the dresser (According to Steve Holland, the art is by Rex Archer, though tikitnet, from the Pan website says it is Pat Owen). There is also the top of a man's head above the yellow bar - in earlier printings there was a picture of Bond where the red writing is, and it hasn't been totally erased!
