Beschreibung

[Spy novel] ALL FIRST EDITIONS THUS. Large print. Octavo (22 x 14 x 27cm) All bound in publisher's hardcovers blocked in gilt to the spine, in photographic dust-jackets. None are rebound by libraries. Usual institutional markings within, free endpaper clipped to 'Dr No', same removed from 'Diamonds Are Forever'. Used as expected, but generally presentable in jackets. Moonraker has no markings and is fine/as new throughout. A genuinely scarce set, from the collection of award-winning Ian Fleming bibliographer Jon Gilbert (pencil ownership within). This was the best set he could assemble over a twenty-year period, and is virtually impossible to put together nowadays. These large print edition were issued exclusively to lending libraries (with LA 'Library Association' logos printed on rear) and are rarely (if ever) found without library markings. Thirteen titles were published by Chivers; Moonraker was not included in this edition, having been released slightly earlier in large print by Thorpe (mint copy supplied for completion). For those in the know, this is a Fleming rarity. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 69618
