'How To Write A Thriller' contained within 'Books and Bookmen' magazine. Vol. 8, No 8, May 1963.
London: Hansom Books, 1963. [James Bond literary reference] FIRST APPEARANCE. Pp.66. Magazine format stapled twice, fully illustrated. Original price 3s. The article appears on pp.14-19, with a vignette photograph of the author. This issue also features an advert for James Clavell's 'King Rat' with a supporting quote by Ian Fleming (p.16). Contents fine, covers lightly handled with one small snag, some expected wear to spine; very good. This Fleming article originally appeared in the UK in Queen magazine (November 1962) and in the US in Show Magazine (August 1962); those two glossy publications were far more commercial and had a wider audience. This version of the article is more elusive, appearing in a niche journal for bibliophiles, with a much smaller readership. Item #65259
