Diamonds are forever: a James Bond novel
"Bond put down the piece of quartz and gazed again into the heart of the diamond. Now he could understand the passion that diamonds had inspired through the centuries... It was domination by a beauty so pure that it held a kind of truth, a divine authority before which all other material things turned, like the bit of quartz, to clay. In these few minutes Bond understood the myth of diamonds, and he knew that he would never forget what he had suddenly seen inside the heart of this stone." FIRST EDITION of the fourth James Bond novel. London: Jonathan Cape, 1956. Octavo, original black cloth, original pictorial dust jacket.
