Catalogue Note
A fine edition celebrating the centenary of the birth of Ian Fleming.
Queen Anne Press was managed by Ian Fleming from 1952 to 1964. It is now managed by Fleming's niece and nephew, Kate Grimond and Fergus Fleming. To mark the centenary of Fleming's birth in 2008 they published an edition of his complete works, of which this volume forms a part. The design of these covers is based on Fleming’s own design for a 1963 limited edition of his eleventh James Bond book, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
