A propos de cet article

IAN FLEMING - ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, Taiwanese "Pirate" Edition circa 1963 (per date on title page), white endpapers, dark green (darker than shown in the attached scan) cloth boards with silver gilt lettering to spine. NOTE - DUE TO THE IMMENSE POPULARITY OF IAN FLEMING'S JAMES BOND BOOKS FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE FIRST JAMES BOND MOVIE "DR. NO" IN 1962 AND JFK ANNOUNCING THAT FLEMING WAS HIS FAVORITE WRITER, FLEMING'S JAMES BOND BOOKS WERE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER BY U.S. SERVICEMEN STATIONED OVERSEAS IN THE ASIAN PACIFIC THEATER. TO FILL THAT NEAT "PIRATE" EDITIONS OF FLEMING'S BOOKS (AS WELL AS NUMEROUS OTHER POPULAR AUTHORS OF THE TIME) WERE CREATED - PRINTED IN ENGLISH AND USING VARIOUS TYPE SET PAGES AND DUST JACKET COVER ART (THEY WOULD USE WHATEVER VERSION OF THE BOOK THEY COULD FIND - WHETHER IT WAS A U.S. HARDCOVER OR A U.K. PAPERBACK) - IN THE CASE OF ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE THEY USED THE U.K. JONATHAN CAPE 1ST BUT THE DUST JACKET USED THE U.K. NAL PRINTING (THESE "TAIWANESE" EDITIONS ARE MOST EASILY IDENTIFIED BY THE UNINITIATED BY THE PRESENCE OF A BLOCK OF ASIAN CHARACTERS - SOMETIMES ON THE COPYRIGHT PAGE BUT USUALLY AT THE BOTTOM LEFT ON THE REAR ENDPAPER). WHILE THESE BOOKS HAVE NEVER BEEN PARTICULARLY COMMON (THE ONLY WAY THEY TURN UP FOR SALE IS IF A SERVICEMAN DECIDED TO BRING THE BOOK BACK TO THE U.S.), UP UNTIL ABOUT 3-4 YEARS AGO THESE BOOKS ROUTINELY SOLD FOR $100 OR LESS. NOW THESE BOOKS ARE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND (AND ARE MUCH MORE COMMONLY KNOWN/COLLECTED). Book has no creased page corners, flat white pages with sharp outer page corners, no foxing to pages, endpapers or outer page edges, hint of dust soiling/age darkening to outer page edges, endpapers are clean and free from any discoloration (very tiny tear - likely a publishing defect at the top of rear internal hinge), no former owner's markings or used bookseller stamps/stickers inside, no wear to board edges, corners or spine tips, no bumped board corners, no discoloration/soiling to boards, no age darkening to spine. Dust jacket has largisth "v" losses at top spine tip otherwise no chipping or tearing or creasing (very poor paper was used on these DJs and as a result they are extremely prone to tearing and chipping), slight wear to spine tips, no wear to front flap crease (just at nick losses at flap crease corner), no wear to left/right on spine, no spine sun fading, no color rubbing, no age foxing spots panels, almost no no dust soiling to panel/spine, some edge wear (again common due to the poor printing quality of the paper and glossy covering used), no soiling or staining. Overall a FINE-/N-FINE book in VG+/FINE- condition dust jacket (not price clipped) of an Ian Fleming scarce "Taiwanese pirate" edition hardcover book. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Ian Fleming James Bond 1st printing hardcover appearances up for sale.…
