Live and Let Die -
Ian Lancaster Fleming
1954 - Jonathan Cape, London - First Edition, in First Issue Dust Jacket
A bright sharp and superior example of the second Bond novel, the scarce ‘First, First, First’ edition, the dust jacket without any restoration, gilt lettering bright and sharp to the book spine (usually dulled), appropriately housed in a custom made black morocco leather, felt-lined clamshell case, with gilt lettering to the spine.
Beautiful, fortune-telling Solitaire is the prisoner (and tool) of Mr. Big - master of fear, artist in crime, and Voodoo Baron of Death. James Bond has no time for superstition - he knows that Big is also a top SMERSH operative and a real threat. More than that, after tracking him through the jazz joints of Harlem to the Everglades and on the Caribbean, 007 has realised that Mr. Big is one of the most dangerous men he has ever faced, and nobody, not even the enigmatic Solitaire, can be sure how their battle of wills is going to end.

Thunderball -
Ian Lancaster Fleming
1961 - Jonathan Cape, London - First Edition
A fine first edition of one of the most pivotal works of the James Bond series, and the first of the ‘Blofeld’ trilogy. It was in Thunderball that Fleming first introduces the world to the ultimate Bond villain - Ernest Stavro Blofeld. Though Bond and Blofeld never actually meet here, it is in this book that Bond first battles the schemes of SPECTRE, Blofeld's criminal organisation.
Filmed in 1965, starring Sean Connery as 007, Claudine Auger as Domino and Adolfo Celi as Emilio Largo- SPECTRE's No.2. The later film ‘Never Say Never Again’, with Connery again as 007, was loosely based on this story.
Appropriately housed in a bespoke black cloth clamshell case, lined in scarlet red felt, the spine with gilt stamped lettering and atomic bomb logo, ‘Thunderball’ being the military term used by U.S. soldiers to describe the mushroom cloud seen during the testing of atomic bombs.
