FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF IAN FLEMING IN 1964 AND THE PUBLICATIONS OF MAN WITH GOLDEN GUN AND OCTOPUSSY/LIVING DAYLIGHTS IN 1965 AND 1966, FLEMING'S ESTATE AUTHORIZED THE PUBLICATION OF NEW JAMES BOND STORIES - COLONEL SUN (BY ROBERT MARKHAM aka KINGSLEY AMIS) AND THIS BOOK. DUE TO POOR SALES NEITHER LINE OF JAMES BOND BOOKS WERE CONTINUED UNTIL RESTARTED IN WITH "LICENCE RENEWED" IN 1981. NOTE - GIBRALTAR LIBRARY BINDING ("GLB") EDITION - INTENDED FOR LIBRARY USE (SO IT HAS STURDIER SEMI-GLOSSY ILLUSTRATED BOARDS AND THE GLB LOGO ON REAR BOARD WITH NO DUST JACKET - NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THIS BOOK "CLEAN" (I.E. NEVER IN A LIBRARY). YOU COULD WAIT 20 YEARS BEFORE FINDING THIS BOOK AGAIN IN THIS CONDITION FOR SALE. BECAUSE IT USES A REINFORCED INTERNAL BINDING THE INSIDE ENDPAPERS ARE YELLOW (THE TRADE EDITION USED A BLACK & WHITE ILLUSTRATED ENDPAPER) - THIS EDITION RETAINS THE 2-PIECE ILLUSTRATED ENDPAPER SO THIS EDITION HAd THE ENDPAPERS PRINTED AS THE NEXT PAGE (WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE THE PRE-TITLE PAGE) AND AS THE NEXT TO LAST PAGE IN THE BOOK, AS A RESULT THE FFE USED THE PRE-TITLE PAGE AND THE RFE IS BLANK (SEE PICTURES). Book IS NOT EX-LIBRARY (NO LIBRARY MARKINGS/STICKERS/STAMPS INSIDE OR ON THE OUTER BOARDS) - no creased page corners, barest hint of age darkening/dust soiling to outer page edges (no foxing), endpapers are clean and free from any tape residue or discoloration or erasures, no tearing or splitting of page block from internal hinges, no former owner's markings or used bookseller stamps inside, no wear to board edges or to board corners or to spine tips, hint of color rubbing to rear board (common defect with these GLB boards), no soiling or staining to boards, no spine sun fading, no bumped board corners.
