Ian Fleming – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – First UK Edition 1963
£425.00
A first edition, first printing, published by Cape in 1963. A very good book with one neat small bookplate to the front endpaper with spotting to the page edges. In a very good (or better) unclipped wrapper with a little browning to the spine. Spotting to the rear panel. Becoming rare.
The story is filled with action, including a thrilling ski chase and a dramatic assault on Blofeld’s fortress. “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” is notable for its character development, a departure from some of the earlier Bond novels, and it concludes with a tragic and unexpected twist that leaves Bond forever changed.
