Soft cover. 1st Edition. IAN FLEMING'S James Bond story "QUANTUM OF SOLACE", in COSMOPOLITAN magazine May, 1959 issue, includes artwork that appears nowhere else. VERY RARE AND MUST HAVE FOR THE IAN FLEMING/JAMES BOND COLLECTOR - THIS WAS IAN FLEMING'S VERY FIRST JAMES BOND SHORT STORY AND SPECIALLY COMMISSIONED BY COSMOPOLITAN (LONG BEFORE JAMES BOND BECAME A POPULAR LITERARY FIGURE IN THE U.S.), THERE WAS NO CORRESPONDING U.K. MAGAZINE PUBLICATION AND THE STORY WASN'T PUBLISHED IN BOOK FORM UNTIL A YEAR LATER IN 'FOR YOUR EYES ONLY'. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT ITEM TO FIND NOW AS THE TITLE WAS RECENTLY USED AS THE TITLE FOR THE 2ND DANIEL CRAIG BOND FILM. Magazine is very nice - no wear to spine tips (tiny bit of wear near top of spine), no cover creases, no cover tears, tiny nick loss to bottom right corner, no subscription label, no missing pages, no former ownership markings or used bookstore stamps inside, tiny bit of discoloration to right edge on cover otherwise no soiling or staining to cover, virtually no color cover rubbing (common defect with this magazine), no dust soiling to covers, no edge wear. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Ian Fleming James Bond magazine appearances up for sale.
