Sobre este artículo
London: Cape, 1962. A first edition, first printing published by Cape in 1962. A very good book without inscriptions, stained to the top of the spine and front board. In unclipped wrapper with corresponding staining. Small faded patch to the foot of the spine. INSCRIBED to the front endpaper: "To Claude, who holds the fort. From Ian." Inscribed to Clude Taittinger, head of the Champagne family with whom Fleming was friendly; Taittinger received an advance copy of his next novel and had sponsored the Pinewood celebration to mark the first day's filming of 'From Russia, With Love' 1st April 1963. Following his brother Francois' untimely death in an accident, Claude stepped in to direct business from 1960 to 2005, steering the house to world renown. Based at Chateau de la Marquetterie, a former command post during World War I, the nature of the inscription would confirm this. PROVENANCE: From Fleming's bibliographer, Jon Gilbert's collection.

A far cry from the privileged world she was born to, the motel is also the destination of two hardened killers—the perverse Sol Horror and the deadly Sluggsy Morant. When a coolly charismatic Englishman turns up, Viv, in terrible danger, is not just hopeful, but fascinated. Because he is James Bond, 007; the man she hopes will save her, the spy she hopes will love her …
