The Folio Society Goldfinger is the Fleming novel as a book to be kept: blocked cloth, a pictorial slipcase and colour illustrations by Fay Dalton. If the film is the version you know, this is the better route back to the source.
In the books
Auric Goldfinger has spent years hoarding, trading and stealing gold, and now works as a money man for SMERSH. Bond is set against him, and the novel is where Oddjob and Pussy Galore first appear. Folio’s edition gives the story seven colour illustrations.
