"Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car is a children's novel written by Ian Fleming for his son Caspar, with illustrations by John Burningham. It was initially published in three volumes, the first of which was released on 22 October 1964 by Jonathan Cape in London. Fleming, better known as the creator of James Bond, took his inspiration for the subject from a series of aero-engined racing cars called "Chitty Bang Bang", built by Count Louis Zborowski in the early 1920s at Higham Park. Fleming had known Higham Park as a guest of its later owner, Walter Wigham, chairman of Robert Fleming & Co. Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang was loosely adapted as a 1968 film of the same name."

Amis, Kingsley. The James Bond Dossier.. Jonathan Cape, London, 1965.
Price: US$750.00 + shipping
Description: First edition of Amis' critical analysis of the James Bond novels. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Jan Pienkowski based on the famous trompe l'oeil paintings by Richard Chopping reproduced on the jackets of the James Bond books. An exceptional example. Written at the Bond-mania's zenith in the 1960s, The James Bond Dossier is the first, thorough, albeit tongue-in-cheek, literary analysis of Ian Fleming's strengths and weaknesses as a thriller-writer. As a mainstream novelist, Amis respected the Bond novels, especially their commercial success, believing them 'to be just as complex and to have just as much in them as more ambitious kinds of fiction'. The James Bond Dossier includes most of the Bond fiction cycle, excepting Octopussy and The Living Daylights (1966), the final collection of 007 short stories, which was published after the Dossier. Kingsley Amis's argument is that the Bond novels are substantial and complex works of fiction, and certainly not, as Ian Fleming's critics said, 'a systematic onslaught on everything decent and sensible in modern life'. He viewed them as popular literature, akin to that of the Science Fiction texts he critiqued in New Maps of Hell (1960).

Published a year after Ian Fleming's death, The Man with the Golden Gun is the final James Bond novel written by its original creator. Fleming's health rapidly decreased while writing the book and though he finished a draft of the novel in 1964, he never fully re-worked it. After Fleming's death, the novel was published in the U.K. and then serialized in The Daily Express and Playboy. Ironically, in this novel, Bond is presumed dead before returning to London. He's been brainwashed by the Soviet Union and attempts to assassinate "M." After regaining his senses, Bond is sent to the Caribbean to assassinate Francisco Scaramanga, known as "The Man with the Golden Gun.". Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.

FLEMING, Ian.. The Man With the Golden Gun.. London: Jonathan Cape, 1965, 1965.
Price: US$12832.65 + shipping
Description: First edition, first impression, first issue, in the first state binding with the gilt gun design on the front cover. The Bond books were typically stamped with a decorative device on the front covers; in this instance, the practice proved too expensive and was abandoned after the first 940 copies were produced. It is consequently the scarcest first state of the Bond books. Gilbert A13a (1.1). Octavo. Original black boards, spine lettered in gilt, gun design stamped on front cover in gilt, green-and-white patterned endpapers. With dust jacket. Gilt bright, small bump to spine ends, occasional faint mark to contents; jacket sharp and unclipped: a near-fine copy in fine jacket.
