About this Item
Octavo. Original green wrappers with the publisher's device repeated in white, spine and front wrapper lettered in black. With proof dust jacket. Housed in a custom chemise and blue morocco-backed slipcase. Minor staining to spine with minor tear to head; a near-fine copy. Dust jacket trimmed to size of proof with minor loss to head of spine; a very good example of the jacket. Uncorrected proof copy in proof jacket. One of just 500 proof copies. The proof of On Her Majesty's Secret Service has more errors and required more amendments than any other Fleming title. The dust jacket shows variations to the blurb over the published version, including a Soviet newspaper blurb to the rear panel, which is exclusive to the 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 A11a, pages 354-6; The Schøyen Collection No. 82. Seller Inventory # 155927
