On Her Majesty's Secret Service
By Ian Fleming
First edition, first impression (Jonathan Cape, 1963).
Publisher's original black cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. A little spotting to top edge, but a lovely and clean near fine book otherwise, in a near fine and unclipped dust jacket with just a hint of rubbing in places to extremities and a little toning to spine panel.
An excellent example.

A Storm of Swords
By George R. R. Martin
A very good copy with some light marks to top edge and upper board and a faint stain to top of rear endpaper. The original and unclipped dust jacket is also very good with some edge wear and some creasing in places, primarily to spine panel head and folds.
A nice copy of the third book in 'A Song of Ice and Fire'.
