Octavo (20 x 14 x 26cm). Publisher's hardbacks in illustrated dust-wrappers. The entire run of the popular British book club editions, which began in 1956 with 'Live and Let Die'. In total eleven of the fourteen James Bond titles were issued in this format and this set is complete as published. No inscriptions or ink names. Page edges are clean, with the earlier books slightly dusty but free from the heavy spotting often seen. Jackets are clean and fresh with some light wear to edges and extremities. Near fine to fine copies throughout. Becoming difficult to assemble in anything approaching fine condition. Ian Fleming's books were offered in this cheaper format, usually one year after the Cape first editions- some share the same Jonathan Cape artwork, but after the 'Thunderball' painting was damaged while on loan in America, Cape would no longer lend out their original art; as such the Book Club commissioned their own action-packed and striking cover designs. From the comprehensive archive assembled by Jon Gilbert (ownership within). His encyclopaedic guide to the works of Ian Fleming (2012) won the 16th Breslauer Prize for bibliography.
