Ian Fleming – You Only Live Twice – First UK Edition 1964
£750.00
A first edition, first printing published in 1964 (stated ‘First published March 1964’) by Jonathan Cape. A near fine book without inscriptions – some spotting to the page edges. In a near fine unclipped wrapper with some rubbing to the spine tips and corners – these are the only defects to what is a superb copy of this title – with a bright, unfaded spine.
You Only Live Twice by Ian Fleming finds James Bond shattered after personal loss and sent to Japan on a near-impossible diplomatic mission. There he encounters Tiger Tanaka, Japanese culture and the mysterious Dr. Shatterhand, whose “Garden of Death” hides a deadly secret. More reflective and strange than many Bond novels, it blends revenge, travel writing, psychological collapse and macabre adventure, showing Bond at one of his lowest and most human points.
