Sobre este artículo
London: Cape, 1963. An uncorrected proof copy published by Cape in 1963. Light edgewear and some creasing to the corners of the first twenty pages, spine a little sunned, but a near fine copy. The Paul Davis-designed dust wrapper is uncut, with square corners (the published book has square corners) and the publication date is stamped at the foot of the front flap. The proof book contains several differences to the hardback, mostly of a typographical nature; some ommissions appear on the copyright page, the final leaf of the text differs and there are no picture credits printed at the rear. A scarce Fleming proof - only 175 copies printed. Serialised in The Sunday Times (1959-60) and all collected here for the time in book form. Excessively rare.
Sinopsis
Thrilling Cities is the title of a collection of non-fiction travel articles by James Bond creator Ian Fleming. The book was published by Glidrose Productions first in Great Britain in 1963, followed by an American edition in 1964. The book is a collection of articles Fleming wrote for the London Sunday Times, based on two trips he took between 1959 and 1960 at the behest of Times travel editor Leonard Russell. The book version includes material edited out of the original articles.
