[Spy fiction] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (18 x 14cm), pp.301, with an introduction by the respected Bond authority Henry Chancellor. In the prize-winning binding of silver-grey cloth with a silenced Walther PPK motif to upper, burgundy endpapers. Complete with the wraparound sleeve, which is gummed together at rear (with some bleed-through, as inevitably found). A lovely fine copy, carefully dark-stored by ourselves since publication. The true first hardcover edition of this title, preceded by a paperback edition in the Penguin Modern Classics series, which did not include the introduction.

The majority of tales are set in holiday locations such as the Seychelles, the Bahamas, the Jamaican coast, the Lido in Venice, a lakeside summerhouse in Vermont and the Mediterranean port of Santa Maria. Henry Chancellor is the author of the acclaimed study of the literary 007 "James Bond, The Man and His World" (2005). Gilbert E18a (3).…
