Add to basketFLEMING, Ian. The Man with the Golden Gun. London: Jonathan Cape, 1965 8vo., black publisher s cloth, backstrip lettered in bronze; green endpapers; in the original unclipped Richard Chopping dust jacket (18s net); pp. [iv], v, [iii], 9-221, [iii]; top corner bruised, slight compression to spine ends; lightly spotted to edges, with small dink to lower board; save for the odd spot, a clean copy internally, in the bright dustwrapper which has 41 in pencil to spine, creased to folds, with larger corner crease and some dirt marking to front flap; nicked to edges, with a couple of short closed tears to the upper panel. First edition, first impression, second state. Binding B in black cloth, without the gun motif to the upper board, and backstrip lettered in bronze. Written at his Goldeneye estate in 1964, The Man with the Golden Gun is set, like many of Fleming s other novels, in a fictionalised version of his home in Jamaica. It was to be the author s twelfth and final book in the Bond series, and was published posthumously in April 1965, eight months after Fleming s death - the manuscript had been left unfinished and so the published adaptation had not been through the full editing process by the author himself. True to form, the plot involves secret missions, brainwashing, American gangsters and KGB agents. A very nice copy.
