Price: US$58.51 + shipping

Condition: Good

Description: 1959. 12mo. First edition. A fairly clean ex-library copy rebound in laminated library blue cloth. Missing the original endpapers, but would re-bind fairly well. there are 3 library 'discarded' stamps to the first page and a biro price to the head of the same page. There is a single small circular stamp (with the biro number '46' in it) to the reverse of the title page. A good only but essentially quite clean library copy, which may prove an attractive re-binding proposition.

Description: [Spy thriller] FIRST EDITION, Second impression. An association copy, formerly belonging to Sefton Delmer, a fellow intelligence agent, journalist colleague and close friend of Ian Fleming. Delmer bookplate (Valley Farm) to pastedown and auction lot slip tucked in [sold through Bonhams, 2009]. Octavo (20 x 13cm), pp.318. Publisher's black cloth-effect paper over boards with 'skull' design stamped to upper, pictorial dust-wrapper designed by Richard Chopping, priced at 15s. A used copy with some dustiness and toning. Wrapper is worn, with some chips and tears, soiling to rear. Very good. The young reporters Delmer and Fleming met in Moscow in the 'thirties and they would soon work closely together in Naval Intelligence. After the war, they took similar career paths, with Delmer becoming Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for the Daily Express and Fleming joining The Sunday Times as their Foreign Manager. In a typed statement, Sefton Delmer records "He [Fleming] was the godfather of my son. 'Call him Felix' he had said, 'there are too many Felix's in this world'. And he followed his own advice by creating an American partner for James Bond called Felix Leiter" [source: Ian Fleming Bibliographical Archive]. Gilbert, Jon. Ian Fleming The Bibliography, A7a (2).

Description: [Spy thriller] FIRST EDITION, Second impression. Brigadier Fitzroy Maclean's copy, with his printed visiting card and Cape book label loosely inserted. Octavo (20 x 13cm), pp.318. Publisher's black cloth-effect paper over boards with 'skull' design stamped to upper, pictorial dust-wrapper designed by Richard Chopping, priced at 15s. Contents clean, a few minor marks to edges of text block, jacket remains bright with a little wear to spine tips, faint ballpoint scribble/impression to rear. Shows well. The seventh Bond thriller. A significant association. Provenance: Sir Fitzroy Maclean (1911-96), former Etonian diplomat, S.A.S. Commando, adventurer and travel writer encouraged by Peter Fleming; liaised with Ian Fleming during the Moscow spy trials in the 1930s, served in Soviet Central Asia, the Western Desert Campaign, and at Churchill's personal request, behind enemy lines with Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia. Maclean was often labelled a model for James Bond, with Ian Fleming noting that 007 was "a compound of all the secret agents and commando types that I met during the war" (Bond Bound, p.26). Maclean, Peter and Ian Fleming were reunited at literary events, each being published by Jonathan Cape. Originally sold with all Maclean's copies of the Bond novels [Lyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh, 2008], purchased by bibliographer Jon Gilbert for his Fleming Archive, where this copy has remained since.

This important copy was later part of the comprehensive James Bond collection of bibliographer Jon Gilbert, with accompanying provenance.

FLEMING, Ian - CHOPPING, Richard.. Goldfinger artwork. An original full-colour proof of the front cover illustration for the 1959 novel.. [London: Jonathan Cape, 1959], 1959.

Price: US$29253.79 + shipping

Description: Richard Chopping's personal, signed copy of the final proof sheet artwork, being the glorious full-sized image taken from the original painting, before the spine lettering and publisher's imprint were added (although the spine panel is still illustrated here). The image was then scaled down to produce the dust jackets. This item was originally sold in the 1980s by Richard Chopping himself. Richard Wasey Chopping (1917-2008) was a British illustrator and author, painting in the trompe l'oeil style to create a realistic and almost three-dimensional appearance. Among his illustrations are nine iconic covers for the James Bond books by Ian Fleming, published between 1957 and 1966, and the cover of John Gardner's first Bond continuation novel, Licence Renewed (1981). Chopping was born in Colchester, Essex and educated at Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk. He lived in the historic village of Wivenhoe for over sixty years, founding an artist community which counted Francis Bacon as a member. The artwork for Goldfinger is one of the most famous of the series, and comprised a skull, with gold coins set in the eye sockets, with a rose between the teeth (flowers being a running theme that were used in four of Chopping's James Bond covers, with roses being chosen twice). From the significant Ian Fleming collection of Martin Schøyen (b.1940), whose private collection of manuscripts, which span all cultures and all time periods, is one of the largest and most comprehensive of its kind. The Schøyen Collection No. 64. Image measuring 406 x 508 mm. Matted within mountboard measuring 571 x 660 mm. In fine condition. Presented in a brown wooden box frame with conservation glass and mount.

Fleming, Ian. Goldfinger.. Jonathan Cape, London, 1959.

Price: US$35000.00 + shipping

Description: First edition of the seventh novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. Octavo, original black cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Lionel, Something more to read! From Ian." The recipient, Lionel Berry, 2nd Viscount Kemsley was a politician and newspaper editor. His father, the 1st Viscount Kemsley, had given Ian Fleming his first job as a journalist when he employed him as the Foreign Manager for the Kemsley newspaper group. It was this role, with its contracted three month break every winter to allow Fleming to holiday in Jamaica, that gave Fleming the opportunity to write the planned spy novel that would become Casino Royale. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Richard Chopping. Housed in a custom clamshell box. A nice association. Goldfinger originally bore the title The Richest Man in the World. Based upon American gold tycoon Charles W. Englehard, Fleming named his villain after British architect Erno Goldfinger. When the actual Goldfinger found out his name was being used, he threatened to sue Fleming, and the matter was ultimately settled out of court. A best-seller upon its release, it became the third James Bond film in 1964 starring Sean Connery.

Fleming, Ian [Richard Chopping]. Final Proof for Goldfinger Cover Art - SIGNED and designed by Richard Chopping. London Cape 1959, 1959.

Price: US$38354.97 + shipping

Description: A rare, final proof for the novel Goldfinger by Richard Chopping. The proof is believed to be one of fewer than ten copies and feature the iconic trompe l'oeil skull embedded with $20 gold coin eye sockets together with a rose stem beneath the skull's teeth and is signed in pencil by Richard Chopping (1917-2008), who designed a number of James Bond first edition book covers. The proof is lighter in colour to the final dust wrapper artwork finally used by Cape. The piece was commissioned by UK publisher Jonathan Cape and is custom-framed in a light oak satin-wood frame. "The Chopping jacket was a tremendous success, both in England and America, and from that day on he and I and Michael Howard of Cape's have devised all the James Bond jackets, which have now become something of a hallmark with the book trade and have earned prizes for Cape's." Ian Fleming (1964). Mr. Chopping felt so little warmth for Fleming that he sold his autographed copies of his books for a mere £1,000. But when the rare copies were later offered at auction in New York they raised a record £40,000. After years of disappointment about his most famous commissions, Mr Chopping had no hesitation about putting the publisher`s proofs on the market when they surfaced unexpectedly at his home in Wivenhoe in Essex."I found them at the bottom of a drawer. What they are is progressive proofs, so there are sheets with different colours added, yellow, brown, red. This was before they used computers for printing."

Fleming, Ian. Goldfinger.. Jonathan Cape, London, 1959.

Price: US$60000.00 + shipping

Description: First edition of the seventh novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. Octavo, original black cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Una, who again wrote the whole thing! from Ian Fleming." The recipient, Una Trueblood, whose surname was later appropriated by Fleming for the character of Mary Trueblood in Dr. No. Una started working in 1948 at Kemsley Newspapers and The Sunday Times where she was soon appointed secretary to Ian Fleming, where he worked throughout the 1950s. She recalled that Fleming "always said he only wrote Casino Royale, the first Bond book, because he was on the plane to Jamaica and he read such a bad, boring thriller that he thought he could do better himself." He would write the Bond novels during his annual stays at Goldeneye, his home in Jamaica, thereafter sending the manuscript to Una for typing up. The character in Dr. No named after Una is Mary Trueblood, secretary to John Strangways, the head of the British Secret Service's Caribbean station, a position echoing that of Una to Fleming. Mary however met a gruesome end, stabbed to death. Recalling a visit to Una made in 2008 the writer Adam Thorpe noted that "The fictional Mary Trueblood has many features in common with her real-life namesake; she's described in Dr No (1958) as "elegant" (three times), "pretty" and a "good-looker." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Richard Chopping. Housed in a custom clamshell box. One of the finest association copies imaginable. Goldfinger originally bore the title The Richest Man in the World. Based upon American gold tycoon Charles W. Englehard, Fleming named his villain after British architect Erno Goldfinger. When the actual Goldfinger found out his name was being used, he threatened to sue Fleming, and the matter was ultimately settled out of court.
