Author: FLEMING Ian
Title: Thunderball. [The ninth James Bond novel]. IN FULL MOROCCO
Description: Jonathan Cape,, [1961]. 8vo., First Edition; handsomely bound in black full morocco, back with raised bands ruled in gilt, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled and ruled in gilt, hand-made-made endpapers, original 'skeleton hand' from upper board and backstrip gilt mounted on new and separate leaves, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. Nice copy of the ninth James Bond novel and the cause of the celebrated copyright dispute in which it was alleged that Fleming used the then-unfilmed screenplay as the basis for the novel. Subsequent editions include a credit to this effect. The film eventually appeared in 1965, directed by Terence Young and starring Sean Connery and Claudine Auger, with Anthony Dawson as Blofeld.
