Description: [Spy novel] FIRST EDITION, bibliographer's copy. Tall octavo (24 x 16cm), pp.231. An original novel starring Ian Fleming's James Bond. Publisher's black cloth in pictorial dust-wrapper. A crisp, fine copy. NOT remaindered or price clipped with pinking shears, as was the publisher's practice on this title. One of the rarer Gardner Bonds. From the collection of Ian Fleming bibliographer Otto Penzler, purchased by ourselves at Swann Auctions in 2010, with a pencil note to that effect signed by his bookseller friend and colleague Jon Gilbert. Penzler's Mysterious Press published John Gardner's 1984 novel The Garden of Weapons. A nice association. Gilbert, Jon; Ian Fleming: The Bibliography, page 613.
