Thrilling Cities - Signed -
Ian Lancaster Fleming
1963 - Jonathan Cape, London - First Edition
A fine first edition of this wonderful account of fourteen cities, starting with Hong Kong, Fleming’s favourite city, where he stayed with his friend Hugh Barton, Chairman of Jardine Matheson.
Signed by Ian Fleming to the title page, together with a sheet of Sevenhampton Place headed notepaper tucked in (the Fleming home in Wiltshire). One of Fleming's personal copies kept at home and gifted by Anne Flemming to her secretary. Descriptions of the more exciting side to each city, with an emphasis on good food, company of character and beautiful Ladies. It is a shame that these descriptions cannot be used by the Tourism board of Hong Kong today. Housed in a bespoke black morocco leather and gilt titled clamshell case.  More Details
