First edition, one of 50 hardback copies, of Plomer's tribute to his late friend. This copy is accompanied by a paperback issue of the same, along with Plomer's article "Ian Fleming Remembered" in Encounter magazine. A letter from Plomer's secretary, responding to an unrelated invitation, is loosely inserted. Plomer, whose frien…dship with Fleming began in 1929, was a reader at Jonathan Cape and was instrumental in getting published Casino Royal (1953). He "read and advised on each successive Fleming manuscript; Plomer was, unoficially, Ian Fleming's Editor-in-Chief" (Gilbert, p. 650). Fleming dedicated Goldfinger (1959): "To my gentle reader William Plomer". Gilbert, pp. 595-6. Together, 3 items in octavo: 2 copies of Address (12 pp.), in hardback and paperback issues with paper label, the latter with black dust jacket, both with original glassine jackets; Encounter magazine in original wrappers. All housed in custom black folder with the bibliographer Jon Gilbert's bookplate. Fine copies.
