In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. True First Edition, First Impression. Small octavo, pp. 111. Complete with the original, striking gold endpapers and textual illustrations throughout. Bound in the publisher's original plain black cloth boards as issued. The spine is beautifully and d…ynamically stamped with gold, blue, and red lettering, cleverly incorporating the classic Jonathan Cape publisher logo as the second '0' within the '007' motif at the base.The book block is in immaculate, Fine condition. The binding remains remarkably tight, square, and robust, with exceptionally fresh, crisp pages. The original unclipped dust jacket—featuring Raymond Hawkey's brilliant, famous 'reversible' field-disguise design—is in Near Fine condition, retaining exceptional, even colour. The jacket exhibits a single, minor slither of a closed tear to the top left joint at the spine head, but remains a structurally superior, collector-grade example.Provenance & Signature Authenticity Note:This premier copy features a highly unique, contemporary double-signature by the author, Kingsley Amis, with both entries neatly dated 1966 in matching ink. The first autograph is situated on the gold front free endpaper, with a second, sharp companion signature penned directly onto the half-title verso. Both entries display Amis's signature handwriting characteristics, including his iconic, fluid 'figure-8' capital loop and characteristic stylized, contemporary numbering.Cataloguer's Description Insurance Note:Every effort has been made to accurately document the physical parameters of these contemporary 1966 inscriptions. The ink trails and formation quirks correspond beautifully with the known autograph styles of Kingsley Amis during his mid-1960s Jonathan Cape promotional period. To guarantee absolute transparency and provide total purchase insurance, high-resolution photographs showcasing the 'figure-8' loops of both signatures, the 1966 dates, the plain black boards, the multi-coloured spine lettering incorporating the Cape logo, and the minor jacket tear are fully uploaded as an integral part of this listing so that prospective Bondiana collectors and autograph experts may review the ink directly. Raymond Hawkey (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).

In den Warenkorbhardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. The Book of Bond or Every Man His Own 007, Lt.-Col. William ('Bill') Tanner [Kingsley Amis] â" First Edition Publication: London, Jonathan Cape, 1965 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 111, [1]. Condition Report: Good. This ex-library copy remains structurally sound but exhibits the characteristic phys…ical wear of institutional circulation. The black cloth binding is tight and uncocked, though the boards suffer from prominent adhesive residue, heavy tape offset, and slight discoloration where the dust jacket was previously secured. The text block is lightly toned but free from foxing or significant reading wear, preserving the striking red title page and gold endpapers. The original, unclipped dust jacket shows mild rubbing to the extremities and minor surface soiling to the lighter panels, but remains remarkably bright, crisp, and entirely intact without significant chipping. Catalogue Note: Written under the pseudonym of James Bondâs closest ally and M's Chief of Staff, this volume is a brilliant, tongue-in-cheek spoof penned by Kingsley Amis, a towering figure of modern literature who would later officially continue the Bond franchise with Colonel Sun. This first edition retains the famous reversible dust jacket designed by Ray Hawkey, an ingenious piece of mid-century interactive design allowing prospective agents to flip the wrapper and disguise their manual as The Bible Revised to be Read as Literature. The text is playfully illustrated with espionage devices and target graphics. The provenance of this ex-library copy is marked by a City of Liverpool Public Libraries bookplate affixed to the front pastedown, alongside a matching institutional stamp on the verso of the title page. Finding this title on the open market is generally straightforward, but securing a copy where the delicate reversible wrapper hasn't been permanently glued down to the boards or lost entirely is increasingly uncommon. For those seeking the glamour and danger of the 007 lifestyle without the inconvenience of poisoned shoes or shark encounters, The Book of Bond serves as the ultimate manual. Purporting to be an insider's guide penned by William Tanner, this witty and authoritative handbook details exactly what to wear, how to order a drink, how to navigate the casino, and how to spot an enemy agent, offering readers a highly classified masterclass in living like Ian Flemingâs most famous creation. Ray Hawkey (illustrator).
