PIECES OF MODESTY **SIGNED, LIMITED EDITION**

N.Y.: Mysterious Press, 1986. 1st edition, November 1986, so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. LIMITED EDITION. 1 of 250 copies [this being #63], SIGNED by O'Donnell on special Limitations page, in bright red slipcase w/o dj as issued. Modesty Blaise. "Modesty Blaise attracts adjectives as honey draws bears: beautiful, smart, sexy, tough, not-to-be-messed-with and, of course, totally unconventional. Those who don't know her will probably enjoy this collection of short capers more than her longer adventures. ...Here we're treated to romps involving South American guerrillas and a cricket bowl ("A Better Day to Die"); a novel way to get over the Berlin Wall ("The Giggle-Wrecker"); Willie Garvin's own tale of derring-do ("I Had a Date with Lady Janet," happily not narrated in Cockney); jewel thieves on the Riviera ("A Perfect Night to Break Your Neck"); vicious industrial spies in Finland ("Salamander Four"); and a rich man's kinkiness ("The Soo Girl Charity"). Some readers will lap up all the derring that's done and leave it at that. Connoisseurs of James Bond's high seriousness and snobbery, though, will howl in delight--especially since under it all, Modesty really is a nice girl." -- Publishers Weekly. Signed by Author.
