Description

The James Bond creator’s look at real life wrongdoing

Former British intelligence officer (1908–1964) whose novels featuring suave spy James Bond have attained unprecedented and seemingly indestructible popularity in more than twenty film adaptations over the course of four decades. Signed book: The Diamond Smugglers. Later printing. London: Jonathan Cape, 1957. Hardcover with dustjacket, 5.5 x 8, 160 pages. Signed in ballpoint on the first free end page. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from James Spence and a letter of provenance stating that this book originated from producer Stanley Meyer’s estate. In fine condition, with an ownership bookplate in the center of the signed page. The dustjacket shows light expected wear, with the spine sunned and chipped at its top. An interesting, factual look at the underbelly of African diamond smuggling. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
