1961ref. 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

This copy has the exceedingly rare "Movie Tie-In" promotional dust wrapper. The D/W is clean and bright with a little 4mm at its deepest paper loss at the top of the spine a few minor creases and nicks and a date 1964 12 in either a dark pencil or a biro on the front.

These Movie Tie-In dust wrappers were added to a small number of copies of old stock of the paperback first edition to help clear old stock.
