The James Bond Dossier.
London: Pan Books, 1966. [Bond reference / critique] FIRST PAPERBACK EDITION. Octavo (18 x 11cm), pp.157 + [3], advertisements. Publisher's illustrated softcovers designed by Raymond Hawkey. Cheap paper stock a little tanned as usual, covers show some trivial wear. Now a rather elusive paperback. This is Kingsley Amis' first venture into the world of James Bond. He also wrote the light-hearted 'Book of Bond' in 1965 and the first post-Fleming 007 novel 'Colonel Sun'. This copy belonged to author Peter Haining (1940-2008) who wrote the reference book James Bond: A Celebration (1987). With accompanying paperwork/provenance. Item #75596
BMC No.1 p.4-13 'Fleming and Bond; Related Titles'. Gilbert, Jon; Ian Fleming: The Bibliography, page 592, see also Appendix A, page 634.
