FLEMING, Ian (1908-1964)

Moonraker. London: Jonathan Cape, 1955.

An especially bright example of the first edition, second state with ‘shoo’ corrected to ‘shoot’ (p.10). Moonraker was the most self-consciously autobiographical of the Bond novels to date. When Raymond Chandler signalled his approval of Fleming's previous book, Live and Let Die, ‘the real importance of the friendship went beyond the mere restoration of Fleming's confidence in James Bond. It quickly seems to have changed the whole attitude of Fleming to his hero and his work and to have made him decide that his next book [i.e. Moonraker], instead of finishing off Bond for good, would go to the opposite extreme’ (Pearson). Pearson, The Life of Ian Fleming, p. 313. Gilbert A3a (1.2).



Octavo. Publisher’s black boards, lettered in silver, original dust-jacket by Kenneth Lewis after Ian Fleming (faint horizontal crease running 12mm from lower edge, skilful tiny repair to spine panel).
