James Bond First Editions

07/01/2022

Belated Happy New Year from www.jamesbondfirsteditions.co.uk! After a busy time before Christmas I've been working hard to hunt down and replenish my stock of only the best Bond first editions. Just gone up are some exquisite condition examples of Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Oc*****sy and The Man With The Golden Gun. Oc*****sy is fine, unread and features the rarer 10s 6d jacket. The Man With The Golden Gun is amongst the best I've seen. As new as the day it was published. A real find!

Make sure you visit regularly. More books will be added over the next few weeks. Or email me if there's a specific book you're looking for.

April was Jonathan Cape's preferred month for publishing a new James Bond book. But no date is as important as today's. On April 13th 1953 Casino Royale appeared. And what a debut! It's never been out of print. At http://jamesbondfirsteditions.co.uk/rebind-your-1s we've lovingly rebound one of the original first impressions in beautiful full-leather. The cover features the iconic design in gold gilding and it comes with a matching slipcase. We're busy designing the rest of the series in this fabulous finish (Live and Let Die and Moonraker are both done too). Check them out! Could your rebind be waiting for you?

Happy . It's easy to forget books are there to be read. My most recently-thumbed Bond is this old, torn, barely held together tome, but it's my go-to comfort book (and will be for as long as it holds up). Keep your perfect 1st editions for best, sure, but don't forget why you fell in love with reading James Bond in the first place!

What recession? This first edition of Casino Royale sold at auction today for a hammer price of £29,000 - or £36,500 when you include commission. I'd need quite a few sofas to find that sort of money down the sides!

Today is a rather coincidental day to be launching the Facebook presence of www.jamesbondfirsteditions.co.uk.

According to Ian Fleming's biographer, John Pearson, it was on this day (15th January) in 1952 that Fleming first sat down and began to write his debut novel, Casino Royale.
