70 YEARS OF JAMES BOND
As 2023 marks seventy years since the first James Bond book was published, I am delighted to present my first-ever catalogue and one that is devoted purely to Ian Fleming. This milestone anniversary is a testament to the enduring popularity and cultural significance of Bond, whose legacy has captivated audiences and readers for generations.
The publication of “Casino Royale” in 1953 marked the beginning of a literary phenomenon that has spanned multiple mediums and gained countless fans worldwide. Over the past 70 years, James Bond has become an icon of popular culture and I am proud to offer a selection of rare and unique items that pay homage to Ian Fleming and his creation.
From first editions to original movie posters, the catalogue showcases the evolution of Bond over fourteen books and countless films. Great pride has gone in to sourcing these items and I am thrilled to share the collection with you. Whether you are a long-time Fleming collector or a newcomer to the world of rare books, I hope that this catalogue will serve as a source of inspiration and that you find something to add to your collection. Of course, if you have any questions or just want to wax lyrical about book collecting, feel free to contact me.
Here’s to another 70 years of Bond!
