Never Send Flowers.
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1993. [James Bond Continuation] FIRST EDITION, bibliographer's copy. Octavo (24 x 16cm), pp.[10] 212 [2]. Publisher's black cloth with gilt titles to spine. With the illustrated dust-jacket priced at £14.99. A fine copy. When an officer of the British Security Service is murdered in Switzerland, James Bond becomes involved in a deadly game of hide and seek. He follows a sinister shadow across the world, from Athens to Milan, Singapore, the USA and ultimately to EuroDisney. From the collection of Ian Fleming bibliographer Otto Penzler, purchased by ourselves at Swann Auctions in 2010, with a pencil note to that effect signed by his bookseller friend and colleague Jon Gilbert. Penzler's Mysterious Press published John Gardner's 1984 novel The Garden of Weapons. A nice association. Item #67688
