FIRST EDITION 1959 IAN FLEMING JAMES BOND GOLDFINGER

FIRST EDITION 1959 IAN FLEMING JAMES BOND GOLDFINGER Item specifics. New in The James Bond 007 Museum Nybro. Sweden. 20110125

FIRST EDITION 1966 IAN FLEMING JAMES BOND OCTOPUSSY AND THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS

The 1953 book, which sold for £4,000 more than expected, was the top lot at a sale at which Live and Let Die - the second Bond novel - went for £6,600.
A copy of Moonraker, the third in the series, sold for £7,200.
Auctioneer Dominic Winter said "the strikingly colourful" Bond first editions had "always been one of the surest certainties over the last 30 years".
"The 007 film industry has helped that impetus by drawing in thousands of new fans keen to buy into the James Bond fantasy," he said.
It is thought the highest price for a Bond first edition was the £22,750 a signed copy of From Russia With Love fetched at Bloomsbury Auctions in London in 2004.
A signed first edition of Casino Royale is believed to have sold for £21,000, also at Bloomsbury, the following year 2005.

First attempt: "Scent and smoke and sweat hit the taste buds with an acid thwack at three o'clock in the morning"

Second try: "Scent and smoke and sweat can suddenly combine together and hit the taste buds with an acid shock at three o'clock in the morning"

Finally (and satisfied): "The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning".

...while I still do a certain amount of writing in the midst of my London life, it is on my annual visits to Jamaica that all my books have been written.

Ian Fleming, How To Write A Thriller

The tricoteuses of the French Revolution must have had faces like hers...The thinning orange hair scraped back to the tight, obscene bun; the shiny yellow-brown eyes that stared so coldly at General G. through the sharp-edged squares of glass; the wedge of thickly-powdered, large-pored nose; the wet trap of a mouth, that went on opening and shutting as if it was operated by wires under the chin.

From Russia With Love, 1957

Sales of the books rose steadily, but with Dr No, the critics turned and accused Ian of sadism and snobbery. At the same time others were beginning to recognise what an extraordinary talent he had, and Raymond Chandler, for one, urged him to try his hand at something more ambitious. This, he claimed, he had no desire to do, being content to keep within his entertaining formula.
 
However, for whatever reason, his 10th novel, The Spy Who Loved Me, did mark an attempt to vary the formula. The story is told in the first person by a woman, Vivienne Michel, and James Bond does not enter the book until some considerable way through. The fans were upset, the book was not well received, and Fleming returned to the old structure. It remains an unusual book within the canon, but reads well after 50 years.
 
There were two enormous boosts to the sales of the books and to Fleming's fame. Firstly, in 1961, President Kennedy included From Russia with Love in his top ten favourite books in Life Magazine. Sales rocketed. Secondly, in 1962, the first James Bond film, Dr No, starring the unknown Sean Connery was released.
 
Sadly Fleming was already ill with heart disease. He had his first major heart attack in 1962, and while convalescing from that, and having been told not to work, he wrote by hand a story for his young son, Caspar. It told of the adventures of a family and their magical car. He named it Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
