THUNDERBALL

1961Best.-Nr. 25674London: Jonathan Cape 1961. First edition. 8vo publisher’s original black cloth lettered in gilt on the spine in the pictorial dustjacket. 254 pp. A very handsome and clean copy in a complete and only very lightly mellowed dustjacket. FIRST EDITION. Fleming’s books have had a staying power that few thriller-writers can match perhaps because Bond is such an intriguing and morally ambiguous hero. Some admire him as a suave supremely competent man of action who always gets the girl; others decry him a superficial playboy with a streak of sadism. According to Fleming “Bond is not a hero nor is he depicted as being very likeable or admirable. He is a Secret Service agent. He’s not a bad man but he is ruthless and self-indulgent. He enjoys the fight--he also enjoys the prizes. In fiction people used to have blood in their veins. Nowadays they have pond water.” The ninth James Bond thriller finds the high-living superspy guzzling carrot juice in a recovery clinic until the shadowy SPECTRE forces him back into action. But who is SPECTRE and what are its nefarious plans Jonathan Cape hardcover
