[FLEMING, Ian] BENSON, Raymond. The Facts of Death. In ‘Playboy’ Magazine. Vol 45, No.7, July 1998. Playboy, Chicago, Il. 2000 [33049]
pp.202. Price $4.95. Magazine format, illustrated. Near fine. Contains an extract from the James Bond novel ‘The Facts of Death’ by Raymond Benson with exclusive illustrations. Fine. A particularly elusive serial printing. Raymond Benson was the fifth author appointed to write James Bond novels, following creator Ian Fleming and his successors Kingsley Amis (as Robert Markham), Christopher Wood and John Gardner. His first James Bond short story appeared in Playboy magazine, and between 1997 and 2002 Benson wrote six original series novels and three novelisations for the Pierce Brosnan 007 films 'Tomorrow Never Dies', 'The World Is Not Enough' and 'Die Another Day'.
Mr Benson was an obvious choice as he was something of a Bondian expert, having published the impressive 'James Bond Bedside Companion' in 1984, and an updated version in 1988. As leading James Bond First Edition retailers we held several booksigning events at our shop as part of Raymond's UK visits to promote the 007 novels.

FLEMING, Ian Lancaster. Casino Royale. London, Jonathan Cape. 1953 [34274]
First Edition. The first James Bond novel. (Only 4728 copies). INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR to flyleaf: Robert [Harling]. / The first of Balzaches’ / collected works. / Ian.
a very good copy with slight lean, faint greasemark to fly, supplied with very good, slightly edgeworn jacket in first issued (without overprinted reviews).
A unique opportunity to obtain a book which would be a noteworthy addition, or indeed cornerstone to any major collection.
A most important copy- Robert Harling (1910-2008) was one of Fleming’s closest friends, a key figure in mid-20th century graphic design, a former Naval Commando and one of a number of personnel whom it is claimed influenced the character of James Bond (see Henry Chancellor p.54). A multi-talented and raffish character who resisted being typecast, he also wrote successful mysteries and novels, one of which, The Paper Palace (1951) has become a Fleet Street classic, based on his own days in journalism. He was the inspirational editor of House & Garden in the great days of glossy magazines. While still in his twenties Harling co-founded and became editor of Typography magazine, and during the war he worked with Fleming and Sefton Delmer in the Naval Intelligence Propaganda Section, was deputy to Donald McLachlan in N.I.D and served in Fleming's commando outfit 30 Assault Unit. After the war he returned to typography, founding specialist publishing firm Art and Technics; Robert was the editor of its journal Alphabet and Image, to which Ian Fleming made a rare contribution. Harling also worked alongside Fleming at the Sunday Times and designed the memorable 'Tea Chest' type used to great effect on the Cape editions of the James Bond novels. He turned his hand to mystery novels and was later the editor of Sunday Telegraph, and House & Garden, to which Fleming also contributed an article. Harling appears in Thunderball as Nassau's Police Commissioner, and made a further appearance in The Spy Who Loved Me as a typographer working for the Chelsea Clarion- to the best of my knowledge he is the only person Fleming named two of his characters after. He wrote the obituary of Ian Fleming published in the Sunday Times. £48,000

Many of the now familiar elements appeared in this first entry of the series: M, Moneypenny, Felix Leiter, Q/Major Boothroyd, SPECTRE, the Walther PPK, a Casino and a Vodka Martini! The plot was simple and the movie was low-key and down to earth; there were no overblown gadgets to save the day, only Bond’s cunning and intuition.

FIRST PRINTING. An original Italian Locandina poster for the 1963 United Artists film ‘Dalla Russia Con Amore’, starring Sean Connery as Ian Fleming’s James Bond, produced by Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman’s EON Productions. Folded, condition A. 28x13 inches, (Post Transamerica Logo release) now with loose-backed board stiffener. Stated ‘Prima Edizione Italiana Anno MCMLXIV’. A fine Italian Locandine poster (similar format to the US insert) with artwork by Renato Fratini and conceived by Eric Pulford; shows Bond for the first time in the classic ‘pistol’ pose, which would become synonymous with the franchise.
Note on Format; A ‘Locandina’ is a vertical view Italian movie poster measuring approx. 28x13 inches, generally issued folded, on thinner paper (therefore fragile). Similar to the US ‘Insert’ poster; their smaller size makes them popular with collectors, and these are generally scarcer than the foglio (one sheet), the most common Italian poster format. £475

The seventh of author Ian Fleming’s fourteen original Bond books which was was adapted as the third film (1964) in the EON Productions’ 007 series and was the third to star Sean Connery as British Secret Service agent, Commander James Bond. To say it was successful is a little wide of the mark; it changed popular culture, being the first film to really capitalise on merchandising, and distracting a whole generation with glamourous espionage and international mystery as opposed to the bleak reality of the Cold War. Thunderbirds, The Avengers, U.N.C.L.E., Mission Impossible, Danger Man, Jason King, The Prisoner, The Persuaders et al, all begin here.
Goldfinger was also the blueprint for the Bond movie franchise the next two decades; the plot, the sets, the villains and henchmen, the cars, the girls and the gadgets were all over the top, as was the budget- but nothing compared to the collosal box office returns!

Folded, condition A. 28x13 inches, (Post Transamerica Logo release) now with loose-backed board stiffener.

...Beautiful, fortune-telling Solitaire is the prisoner (and tool) of Mr. Big - master of fear, artist in crime, and Voodoo Baron of Death. James Bond has no time for superstition - he knows that Big is also a top SMERSH operative and a real threat. More than that, after tracking him through the jazz joints of Harlem to the Everglades and on the Caribbean, 007 has realized that Mr. Big is one of the most dangerous men he has ever faced, and nobody,not even the enigmatic Solitaire, can be sure how their battle of wills is going to end.

£4,750
Kenneth Lewis was the first of three illustrators employed by Fleming for the James Bond series (followed by Pat Marriott and Richard Chopping). Ken Lewis produced the jackets for the first three books in the series, although both ‘Casino Royale’, and the earliest copies of ‘Live and Let Die’ omitted his name from the jacket; this was rectified during the print run of the second book, and all copies of this third book ‘Moonraker’, carry the illustrator blurb midway down the front flap. Of the three artisits, Fleming had a particular fondness for Ken, the only one he would actually visit in order to discuss artwork; Fleming proudly turning up at Lewis’ suburban house in his prized and rather outrageous Thunderbird car.

Note on Format; A ‘Locandina’ is a vertical view Italian movie poster measuring approx. 28x13 inches, generally issued folded, on thinner paper (therefore fragile). Similar to the US ‘Insert’ poster; their smaller size makes them popular with collectors, and these are generally scarcer than the foglio (one sheet), the most common Italian poster format. £250

FLEMING, Ian Lancaster, (1908-1964). You Only Live Twice. (a James Bond novel) Jonathan Cape, London 1964 [34540]
FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. 8vo., pp256. A very good copy supplied in similar dustwrapper. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR to flyleaf: To / Robert [Harling]/ But not to read! / from / Ian (underline). Harling’s surname has been discreetly added in another hand. The last title in what has become known as the ‘Blofeld’ trilogy. A most important copy- Harling, Robert (1910-2008) was one of Fleming’s closest friends, a key figure in mid-20th century graphic design, a former Naval Commando and one of a number of personnel whom it is claimed influenced the character of James Bond (see Henry Chancellor p.54). A multi-talented and raffish character who resisted being typecast, he also wrote successful mysteries and novels, one of which, The Paper Palace (1951) has become a Fleet Street classic, based on his own days in journalism. He was the inspirational editor of House & Garden in the great days of glossy magazines. While still in his twenties Harling co-founded and became editor of Typography magazine, and during the war he worked with Fleming and Sefton Delmer in the Naval Intelligence Propaganda Section, was deputy to Donald McLachlan in N.I.D and served in Fleming's commando outfit 30 Assault Unit. After the war he returned to typography, founding specialist publishing firm Art and Technics; Robert was the editor of its journal Alphabet and Image, to which Ian Fleming made a rare contribution. Harling also worked alongside Fleming at the Sunday Times and designed the memorable 'Tea Chest' type used to great effect on the Cape editions of the James Bond novels. He turned his hand to mystery novels and was later the editor of Sunday Telegraph, and House & Garden, to which Fleming also contributed an article. Harling appears in Thunderball as Nassau's Police Commissioner, and made a further appearance in The Spy Who Loved Me as a typographer working for the Chelsea Clarion- to the best of my knowledge he is the only person Fleming named two of his characters after. He wrote the obituary of Ian Fleming published in the Sunday Times. £17,500

[FLEMING, Ian Lancaster, (1908-1964)] WOOD, Christopher. James Bond, The Spy Who Loved Me. Jonathan Cape, London, 1977 [26069]
FIRST EDITION. Octavo. Publisher’s black cloth with gilt titles to spine. A lovely fine copy in a fine, price-clipped dust wrapper. Many copies of the hardback went to libraries and are thus ink stamped and worn. This is the original story / novel of the 1977 James Bond film ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ written under licence from Ian Fleming’s copyright holders Glidrose. When Fleming sold the film rights to his novels he would not consent to this title and Moonraker being filmed as written; he felt ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ was an experimental novel (with female perspective and narrative), and ‘Moonraker’ was somewhat dated; therefore both would need re-writing and Christopher Wood was brought in by director Lewis Gilbert to produce a screenplay and subsequent novel, a task he repeated for the next film ‘Moonraker’. £1,000
[FLEMING, Ian.] MARKHAM, Robert Pseudonym of AMIS, [Sir] Kingsley (1922-1995). Colonel Sun. A James Bond Adventure Jonathan Cape, London, 1968, [30033]
FIRST EDITION, FIRST IMPRESSION. Publisher’s cloth in pictorial wrapper. A lovely, near fine copy. £125
After Ian Fleming’s death in 1964, [copyright holders] Glidrose decided to continue the Bond franchise with a series of well-known authors each writing a book under a pen-name. However, only Kingsley Amis took up the offer [writing as ‘Robert Markham’], and in 1968 his 007 novel, 'Colonel Sun' was published. Although initial sales proved disappointing, Bond fans now consider it a classic, with a gritty, fast-paced story written in a polished style by the established Amis [effectively re-creating the famous ‘Fleming sweep’]. Already a part of the ‘Bond Family’, Amis had previously written a popular critical work on the secret agent entitled ‘The James Bond Dossier’ (1965), plus the light-hearted ‘Book of Bond’ (1965), and he was therefore an ideal candidate; at the time, rumours circulated that Amis finished ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’ upon Fleming's death (only the first draft of the novel had been completed) and that ‘Colonel Sun’ was offered as an incentive from Glidrose.

Publisher’s gilt stamped green buckram. With sepia map of the islands, colour frontispiece, and many illustrations throughout. A used copy with owner stamps to prelims, respined in grey cloth, new eps. FIRST EDITION. INSCRIBED by the Author to a fellow Naturalist; ‘To my friend Jose A. Veiga from James Bond’ . IAN FLEMING took the name for his infamous hero from the ornithologist James Bond. Fleming was looking for a most plain, unsophisticated name for the character who became synonymous for flamboyance and style.
Fleming had a copy of the 1947 re-issue, and instantly decided upon the name after seeing this. This first printing is scarce, signed copies exceedingly so; we have only sold one other signed copy (which was also inscribed), in 1999. £3,750
