From the comprehensive James Bond collection assembled by Fleming bibliographer Jon Gilbert (bookplate to first blank). Although an officially licensed spin-off, 003½: The Adventures of James Bond Junior is considered a failed attempt at launching a youth-oriented line of fiction aimed at 8 to 14 year olds. A moderately successful TV cartoon series by the same name was, produced by EON Productions (1991), and in 2005, unrelated to 003½, Ian Fleming Publications published a successful youth-oriented line of 'Young Bond' adventures by Charlie Higson, featuring James Bond the schoolboy. The UK edition precedes the US first printing. Gilbert, p. 614.

Octavo. Original green wrappers decorated with white publisher's motif, lettered in black. A very good copy, spine creased and toned, foxing to edges, otherwise wrappers still sharp and contents clean. A scarce, uncorrected proof copy of the first edition. The most significant difference between the proof and the first UK edition can be seen on the half-title, and also the illustrated title page, where the title and the "003½" motif have been reversed. Ian Fleming's bibliographer, Jon Gilbert, notes that he has only seen one other copy of this proof. This copy is from the significant Ian Fleming collection of Martin Schøyen (b.1940), with his bookplate. Schøyen's private collection of manuscripts, which span all cultures and all time periods, is one of the largest and most comprehensive of its kind. Gilbert, p. 614; The Schøyen Collection No. 416.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. MASCOTT, R. D. [175] pp. Jonathan Cape 1967 8 1/4" x 5 1/2" Jacket drawing by Jane Hood The Adventures of James Bond Junior 003½ is a 1967 James Bond spin-off novel carrying the Glidrose Productions copyright. It was first published in the United Kingdom by the Jonathan Cape publishing company in 1967 and later in 1968 in the United States by Random House. The American edition was retitled 003½: The Adventures of James Bond Junior. The novel was written under the pseudonym R. D. Mascott. Although the novel is based around a character who is the nephew of James Bond, in Ian Fleming's own novels, Bond in fact was an only child and an orphan. In 1966 Harry Saltzman announced a television series about a ten-year-old who fought SPECTRE that could have been based on 003½ but nothing became of it. At some other point Bond film producers Saltzman and Broccoli planned to make either a theatrical feature or a TV series based on the 003½ premise. The producers discussed story ideas with several unidentified screenwriters in London. The Adventures of James Bond Junior 003½ is considered a failed attempt at launching a youth-oriented line of fiction aimed at 8- to 14-year-olds. A moderately successful television series of the same name was launched in 1991, produced by Eon Productions / Danjaq. The success of the show spawned numerous novelisations, a video game, and comic books. Unrelated to 003½, Ian Fleming Publications began publishing a successful youth-oriented line of Young Bond adventures featuring James Bond as a teenager in the 1930s beginning in 2005. Although an officially licensed spin-off from the James Bond series, its place within the canon of the booksif anyhas never been established.
