What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Limited Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed

Charlie Higson was commissioned by 'Ian Fleming Publications' to write one novel for this series, which follows a teenage James Bond attending Eton College in the 1930's. Initially Fleming Publications wished for there to be rotating authors, but Higson's popularity meant he authored five books for this series, in addition to two supplements. Higson wrote the first series of the Young Bond Books, the second series was written by Steve Cole. 

Comprising the entire first series of the Young Bond Books:

'Silverfin', a signed first edition paperback copy, in an impeccable condition. 'Blood Fever' an uncorrected proof copy. 'Double or Die' is a signed first edition copy, complete with the original foil wrap hiding the title stating 'Which Title? The nation has voted, find out inside'. 'Hurricane Gold' is a first edition, with the original wraparound band, 'Signed by Author' sticker to the front board. Higson's signature to the title page, with limited edition number 856/1500. 'By Royal Command' is also a first edition, limited signed edition numbered 615/2000 copies to the title page. With the original promotional bookmark loosely inserted. 'Signed by the Author' sticker to the front board. 'Danger Society. The Young Bond Dossier' has  the original wraparound band, 'Signed by the Author' sticker to the front board. Higson's signature to the title page.

All except 'Blood Fever' are first editions. 'Blood Fever' is an uncorrected proof copy. 

All volumes are in an excellent condition.

Scarce to have all of the first series of these popular Bond novels together in such a good condition.

Condition

In the publisher's original bindings. Volumes I-3 are paperback, whilst volume IV-VI are hardcover. Externally, all volumes are in an excellent condition.
