A propos de cet article

First edition, first impression, first issue, second state binding with blank front cover, inscribed "Dear Leslie - I know Christopher Lee! Love, Roger Moore", "Leslie - I know Roger Moore! Christopher Lee", and signed by John Barry, and Guy Hamilton. This copy was inscribed for the composer and lyricist Leslie Bricusse and has his additional annotations identifying the inscriptions or signatures. Bricusse (1931-2021) was the lyricist for the Bond songs "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice". His musicals include Stop the World - I Want to Get Off, Doctor Dolittle, Scrooge, and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. He won two Academy Awards, one Grammy Award, and was awarded the Order of the British Empire. This is author's last novel, published eight months after his death and later adapted into the 1974 film starring Roger Moore. On submission, Fleming told his editor, "this is, alas, the last Bond", adding that this time he meant it. His estate authorized one final James Bond book by Fleming, the story collection Octopussy and The Living Daylights (1966). Gilbert A13a (1.4). Octavo. Original black boards (Gilbert's Binding C), spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Slightly skewed, corners a little bumped, minor foxing, small mark to front free endpaper; extremities of unclipped jacket very slightly worn, spine toned: a very good copy in near-fine jacket.
