Casino Royale (Jonathan Cape, 1953)

James Bond's first jacket, for Jonathan Cape's 1953 first edition: red hearts that seem to bleed down a gunmetal-gray panel, around a gold laurel wreath. Ian Fleming came up with the idea himself and Kenneth Lewis, a colleague from Kemsley Newspapers, drew it; Lewis went on to design the jackets for the next two Bond novels as well. The earliest jacket, priced at 10s. 6d., has no Sunday Times review printed on the front flap. Later issues added one.
