“I hope you were amused by the profile of me in Life of August 8th”

Former British intelligence officer (1908–1964) whose novels featuring suave spy James Bond have attained unprecedented and seemingly indestructible popularity. TLS signed “Yours ever, Ian,” one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, September 11, 1962. Letter to Albert Cohen. In part: “Thank you very much indeed for keeping in touch and I am much impressed by your brochure, except that from the photographs their [sic] seem to be a whole lot of goods on the shelves by [sic] nobody actually buying them! Perhaps you have managed to tempt some customers in by now! I have absolutely no news for you as my life has been totally uneventful, but I hope you were amused by the profile of me in Life of August 8th.” In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical folds and a vertical ink mark next to second paragraph. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
