In den WarenkorbFirst Edition. [Card games] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (21 x 15cm), pp.772. Publisher's grey cloth hardcovers suitably blocked in red and black. Contents clean, edges a little dusty, covers with a few marks, spine toned. Ostrow's manual was the first-ever book to be reviewed by the future James Bond novelist Ian Fleming, his article published in the Daily Graphic, 28th Sept. 1949. Fleming was a keen card player, and cards and high stakes would be a recurring feature of his 007 adventures. This particular example is from the comprehensive archive assembled by Jon Gilbert (pencil signature within). His encyclopaedic guide to the works of Ian Fleming (2012) won the 16th Breslauer Prize for bibliography. Gilbert, D1, p.544.
