[Spy thrillers] JAMES BOND PAPERBACKS. Fourteen volumes. Octavos (18 x 12 x 18). A vintage set of Pan paperback printings in the classic 'X' series with cover artwork and bold 'James Bond' lettering after designs by Raymond Hawkey. A few titles with ink names/owner's inscriptions, one with pencil name, cheap paper stock toned as usual, acceptable soiling to covers, some rubs/wear to spines, no chips or tears to covers, generally presentable. A very good set. A few titles in this series are becoming rather scarce. Introduced on Thunderball in 1963, the stylish 'X' series featured the "iconic 'JAMES BOND' lettering, being larger and bolder than either the book title or the author's name. His [Hawkey's] cover art was applauded by Fleming and remained unchanged until 1969" (Gilbert, pp.36, 311). These are the familiar designs which a vast audience remembers vividly; many readers will have encountered the literary 007 for the very first time via a paperback from this series.
