	New collectors’ editions Ian Fleming – Talk of the Devil Hitherto, this collection of Ian Fleming’s journalism, various non-fiction items and a couple of unseen short stories has only been available as part of the Complete Works. Many of you have asked when there will be a standalone version. Well, the answer is now! We have taken some 220 of the original book blocks and bound them in two editions: Regular and Deluxe. The Regulars have been available since December – and mighty handsome they are too. The Deluxe version is now available and includes as a separate pamphlet a rare item that we missed back in 2008: ‘The Ordeal of Caryl St George.’ Ian’s first attempt at fiction, it appeared in The Wyvern, a magazine he produced in 1925 while at Eton College. All books are marked o/s (out of series) so limitations don’t apply. But there will be no more than 30 Deluxe Editions, now SOLD OUT (see Books page). Talk of the Devil – Regular edition £75. (See more on Books page). Coming soon Casino Royale To mark the 70th anniversary of Ian Fleming’s iconic first Bond novel, we are producing a letterpress edition of Casino Royale. Printed in 15pt Centaur on 150gsm Bockingford White by Phil Abel of Hand and Eye Press, with cover designs by Webb & Webb, it will be available in a Fine Binding lettered A-Z and a Regular limitation numbered 001-150. The sheets have been printed, all that remains is to bind them. Pictures to come. Prices ditto. Watch this space! Ian Fleming: The Bibliography by Jon Gilbert First published in 2012 and having rapidly sold out, this award-winning bibliography is available once more. The price remains at £175 with slipcases £35. To order a copy please contact our distributors Adrian Harrington Books ‘An outstanding work of meticulous scholarship, Ian Fleming: The Bibliography not only shows that modern authors are collectible, but also that modern authors merit exhaustive bibliographical scholarship. Jon Gilbert’s book has set a standard that will not easily be equalled and is, in every aspect, a most deserved winner of the 16th ILAB Breslauer Prize for Bibliography.’ – Arnoud Gerits, Prize Secretary, 2014 Ian Fleming: The Book Collector Everyone knows about Bond but few are aware of Ian Fleming’s passion for collecting books. In 1952, the year he wrote Casino Royale, he launched a periodical for bibliophiles: The Book Collector. By this time he was well into his collection of first editions of books that were crucial to modern civilisation (on TV, atomic fission, X-rays, birth control, the motor car and penicillin among other things). As an idea it was unique. Following his death in 1964 it was acquired by the Lilly Library, Indiana University. The Book Collector is still very much alive and to celebrate the 65th anniversary of its birth it has devoted its Spring 2017 issue to Ian Fleming (available from thebookcollector.co.uk). The collected articles have been published by Queen Anne Press both in book form and, individually, as pamphlets. For further details click here.
