What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first edition, first impression of this work. Gilbert A10a (1.1) State A

In the first issue dust wrapper designed by Richard Chopping, correctly priced 15s.

'The Spy Who Loved Me' is the ninth Bond novel, the shortest and most sexually explicit within Fleming's series.

This novel is a departure from the others in the series, as it is told in first person by a young Canadian woman, with Bond not appearing in the novel until two-thirds of the way through.

In 1977 the novel was made into a film with Roger Moore as Bond.
