The VG D/W is NOT price-clipped but is un-priced to the inside flap which sugests that it may have been an export copy. The D/W is lightly frayed at the spine tips, has a touch of wear to the corners and has a small chip to the bottom edge of the back panel (not affecting any lettering).

The D/W is very slightly rubbed to the extremities although all-in-all this is a superior example. The author's most important work and filmed both in 1958 and more recently in 1978 (starring Donald Sutherland). |

| FLEMING IAN - ROBERT SELLERS |
The Battle for Bond |
London, Tomahawk Press, 2007,
First Edition,
Signed by Author First UK Edition. A very fine copy in wrappers (as issued). This first edition book has disappeared from the shelves in the UK following the intervention of the Ian Fleming Will Trust who forced the publishers to pulp any remaining un-sold copies of the first edition. This first edition contains reprinted court documents from the Thunderball trial which the Trust contended was an infringement of their copyright and not a matter of public record. The publishers took the view that these were public documents but did not have the financial wherewithal to challenge the request for the remaining unsold copies to be pulped. This has resulted in a furore in the press (with articles in the Independent and The Sunday Times, for instance) and attracted a damning verdict from none other than Len Deighton who has written the foreword to the revised cheaper edition that has just been published (removing those bits of the first edition that were deemed to be in copyright infringement). Deighton, most famous for the Ipcress File, and perhaps the greatest spy novelist of his generation, writes: How Ian Fleming would have hated to know that this book had been censored...As a gentleman he would have felt that harassing a fellow author to be the ultimate demonstration of bad taste. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the early history of James Bond. Quoting from Graham Rye’s excellent review of the book on his influential website Having read Robert Sellers’ manuscript, The Battle for Bond will undoubtedly become the most important book ever published about the evolution of Ian Fleming’s James Bond from Fifties literary sensation to Sixties’ cimematic icon. With many unpublished facts and information drawn first hand from correspondence between Ian Fleming and Kevin McClory, and the other protagonists involved at the inception of Agent 007 becoming a screen hero, Sellers’ book is a ‘must read’ for anyone who considers themselves either a Bond aficionado or a serious student of the history of cinema’. This first edition copy is signed by the Author (Robert Sellers) and also by Sylvan Whittingham, the daughter of the late Jack Whittingham, the Thunderball screenwriter. |

Dead Cert |
London, Michael Joseph, 1962,
First Edition, Hard Cover,
/Dust Jacket
First UK Edition. Just a touch of fading at the top of the spine otherwise a near fine copy with the usual offsetting to the end-papers. The corners are sharp and the spine lettering un-faded. The bottom 3 cm of the spine are a slightly lighter shade caused by ghosting from the D/W through to the boards. The D/W is not price-clipped and is priced 15s net to the inside flap. The D/W has no tears, wear or pieces missing but is just a touch browned to the back cover (although a lot less than often seen). The top of the spine is slightly frayed and the whole spine is a little darkened resulting in the horse on the spine being faded to a lighter shade of orange. At the bottom 3 cm of the spine the pink words "Michael Joseph" are faded but can still be seen if you look closely. On the back cover there are a couple of minor surface scratches. A book which is notoriously difficult to find in really fresh condition this copy compares very favourably with others that I have handled. It has had no restoration, touching up or "cleaning" and is a nice, honest copy in shelvable condition. One of the scarcest books of the last 60 years. First book. Laid in is a contemporary publisher's "Michael Joseph" bookplate signed by Dick Francis. |
