James Bond First Editions

James Bond Girls.

PALAND, J.M.

Paris: Editions Pac, 1985. [Bond Film reference] FIRST (and only) EDITION. Quarto (32 x 23cm), pp.108. Illustrated throughout with colour and black and white photographs. Publisher's photographic hardcovers. Text in French (no English language edition was published). A decent example showing some light handling, corners a little bumped as often found; near fine. Includes rarely-seen photographs, some of which are topless/glamour shots, some from 'Never Say Never Again' alongside the official series from Eon, and many of the photos were unauthorised; subsequently the book was withdrawn and it is now a rarity. Item #64691

From the comprehensive Ian Fleming Bibliographical Archive assembled by Jon Gilbert, with his pencilled note and signature to pastedown. His encyclopaedic guide to the works of Ian Fleming (2012) won the 16th Breslauer Prize for bibliography.
