Contains the first appearance of the James Bond story 'The Property of a Lady', by Ian Fleming, which did not appear in book-form until it was included in the first paperback edition of Octopussy, (1967). A few marks to pp.222, else clean within, jacket with minor edge wear, rubbed at crown. Very good indeed. 'The Property of a Lady' appears on pp.vii xxi, with an illustrated frontispiece of the Fabergé globe described in the accompanying story. Also includes an interesting illustrated article on gun collecting. The screen version of Octopussy, starring Roger Moore, is in fact, an extended version of this story!

These items are reviewed by acknowledged experts in their field. Gilbert A14a 'Periodical Appearances', pages 450-2, 459. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 67370
