[Spy thrillers] JAMES BOND PAPERBACKS. Fourteen volumes. Octavos (18 x 12 x 18). A vintage set of Pan paperback printings in the classic 'X' series with cover artwork and bold 'James Bond' lettering after designs by Raymond Hawkey. A few titles with ink names/owner's inscriptions, one with pencil name, cheap paper stock toned as usual, acceptable soiling to covers, some rubs/wear to spines, no chips or tears to covers, generally presentable. A very good set. A few titles in this series are becoming rather scarce. Introduced on Thunderball in 1963, the stylish 'X' series featured the "iconic 'JAMES BOND' lettering, being larger and bolder than either the book title or the author's name. His [Hawkey's] cover art was applauded by Fleming and remained unchanged until 1969" (Gilbert, pp.36, 311). These are the familiar designs which a vast audience remembers vividly; many readers will have encountered the literary 007 for the very first time via a paperback from this series. Gilbert, Jon: Ian Fleming The Bibliography (2012).

[James Bond Novels] COMPLETE FILM TIE-IN SERIES in the standard paperback format. 15 volumes (including two later first printings by Wood) Octavo (19 x 11 x 19cm), each in the publisher's soft covers printed with a design celebrating the recent filming of the title. Some browning/toning to the cheap paperstock, ink name crossed through in 'Thunderball', some bindings rubbed/reading creases, occasional soiling, two spines sunned. Overall a very good used set. Complete in this format and becoming difficult to assemble; a second 'Casino Royale' film tie-in would be issued by Penguin books (2006), but this was part of the larger-sized 'Modern Classics' series; no UK tie-in was produced for A View To A Kill (1985) and the films after that date are not based on Fleming's novels [Gilbert].

[Spy thriller] 'CHESSMAN' EDITION, bibliographer's copy. Octavo (22 x 14cm), pp.183; [1]. Publisher's 'antique-style' leather-effect green vinyl over boards, panelled spine tooled in gilt, black eps., yellow embroidered head and tail bands, top edge gilt, fore-edge untrimmed. Contents clean, light rubbing to extremities, chipped to headband. A near fine copy. The 'Chessman' edition uses the Book Club sheets, issued in a rather overly-described, cheaply produced 'special' binding, blocked with a chess piece (the knight) to spine and upper cover. Nevertheless, it is a rather scarce book, likely published as a presentation or gift edition (Gilbert, p437). This copy 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 A13b (6).

In the original pictorial dust-jacket illustrated by Richard Chopping. Edges gently toned, contents clean, no inscriptions, jacket with original price crossed through and repriced in ink, a little brownig to flaps, some marks to edge of rear flap. Very good indeed. This copy was exported and sold in Bombay, India (Thacker & Co book shop stamp to rear endpaper). Shows well. UK Cape editions of Fleming's best-selling James Bond series were imported by British overseas territories across the globe [Gilbert], as demonstrated by the present copy. Thacker Spink & Co. were a famous firm of publishers, printers and booksellers founded in 1819 by William Thacker, an East India Company surgeon, joined by his nephew William Spink in 1839.

[Thriller] FIRST EDITION, second impression, Binding B, bibliographer's working copy. Pp.221. Publisher's cloth-effect paper over boards with bronze lettering to the spine, plain covers, patterned green endpapers. In the original pictorial dust-jacket illustrated by Richard Chopping, priced at 18s. A very good copy, marked-up with corrections/changes to the preliminaries from the first printing. Jon Gilbert's file copy, with his pencilled notes, bookplate and ownership signature. His comprehensive guide to the works of Ian Fleming (2012) won the 16th Breslauer Prize for bibliography. Binding B is identified by bronze blocking to the spine, rather than gilt. Gilbert A13a (2.2).

Cheap paper toned as expected, ink ownership and titled ticked off to 'From Russia', neat ink initials to 'Live and Let Die', export price stamp to 'Eyes Only' otherwise free from internal markings, gentle wear to covers, some minor spine roll, generally presentable.
