Contents clean; no. 98 near-fine; no. 100 slightly rubbed and creased with shallow chip at foot of rear cover. First appearance in print of From Russia, With Love, the opening paragraphs of which are found in pp. 5-6 of no.98. A shorter selection from the introductory paragraphs was then reprinted in pp. 42-3 of no. 100. "Although dated 'Spring 1957' [no. 98] would have been available in advance of that issue's season, in this case late February/early March. This extract therefore represents the first appearance in print of any part of From Russia, With Love" (Gilbert). The Daily Express serialization and the book edition were both published in April later that year. These copies are from the significant Ian Fleming collection of Martin Schøyen (b.1940), whose private collection of manuscripts, which span all cultures and all time periods, is one of the largest and most comprehensive of its kind. Gilbert, p. 162; The Schøyen Collection Nos. 36-7.
