Sobre este artículo
London: Jonathan Cape,, 1955. They want us dead... So we have to stay alive First edition, first impression, first state, of the third Bond book, in an exceptionally bright dust jacket, with none of the fading or toning so common with this publication. The novel was adapted into a film in 1979, starring Roger Moore. This copy is from the library of the Fleming bibliographer Jon Gilbert, with his bookplate and signed catalogue description loosely inserted. He notes that the present copy is in the first state, printed on thinner paper stock and with the misprint "shoo" for "shoot" on page 10, line 31. Octavo. Original black boards (Gilbert's binding A), spine and front cover lettered in silver. With dust jacket. Housed in a custom black quarter morocco folding box. Jacket remarkably fresh and unfaded, just a hint of foxing to rear panel and verso, price intact: a fine copy in near-fine jacket. Gilbert A3a (1.1).
Sinopsis
Ian Fleming (1908-1964), creator of the world's best-known secret agent, is the author of fourteen James Bond books. Born in London in 1908 and educated at Eton and Sandhurst, he became the Reuters Moscow correspondent in 1929. In the spring of 1939, Fleming went back to Moscow as a special correspondent for the London Times . In June of that same year, he joined Naval Intelligence and served throughout World War II, finally earning the rank of Commander, RNVSR (Sp.). Much of the James Bond material was drawn directly from Fleming's experiences as an intelligence officer. Later, Fleming became a consultant on foreign affairs for the London Sunday Times , by which time he had become far better known as the creator of James Bond.
