Details
Description
A signed first United Kingdom edition of the James Bond novel, Thunderball.
- Ian Fleming (English).
- London: Jonathan Cape, 1961.
- Inscribed by the Author on the front endpaper: “To/ Wing Commander Dobson/ for/ his very kind help!/ from/ Ian Fleming”.
- Presented in dust jacket.
Wing Commander Dobson was introduced to Fleming by Joan Saunders who ran the Writers and Speakers Research Agency. In “The Man with the Golden Typewriter” he is mentioned in a letter dated 5th September 1961 from Fleming to Saunders. A superb Association Copy with the – unusual – full use of Ian Fleming’s name. He tended to use more often than not the rather more formal “The Author” or the jocular “Ian” in his inscriptions.
