Reissue (the first edition with Ian Fleming's introduction). Signed by the author. A rare inscribed presentation copy from Ian Fleming to Paul Gallico. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Aedwyn Darroll illustrated dustwrapper. Top edge orange. An excellent near fine copy, the binding firm and the cloth and gilt fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps, the top edge with a few foxing spots. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that is ever so slightly faded to the spine but otherwise without loss or tears. Not price-clipped (16s net to the front flap). Housed in a bespoke, quarter black morocco solander case. Inscribed by Ian Fleming in blue ball point pen on the front endpaper "To Paul / With much / affection for / 1963 / from / Ian". A superlative association copy, inscribed by Fleming to his great friend and early James Bond champion, Paul Gallico. American novelist and short story writer Paul Gallico, worked with Fleming at The Sunday Times. He was one of the first people to read the manuscript of Casino Royale, and is quoted in print on the front flap of the dustwrapper of the first American edition. Jonathan Cape first published this "brilliant tour de force" and favourite novel of Ian Fleming in 1933. Soon forgotten by the wider public and unable to locate a copy himself, Fleming requested the Cape file copy in order to re-read it. The result was an enthusiastic and determined recommendation to his publisher that the unjustly neglected novel be re-published. The re-issue, for which Fleming contributes a 14 page introduction was published on the 28th January 1963 in an edition of just 2,763 copies. Jon Gilbert in his comprehensive, award winning bibliography of Ian Fleming states "There appear to be very few presentation copies of this novel given out by Fleming". Ivar Bryce, another close friend of Ian Fleming in "You Only Live Once" (1975, page 142) makes reference to his own similarly inscribed copy and one would assume that Cape head Michael Howard would have also been a recipient; however this example remains to date the only example we have seen or had the pleasure of cataloguing.
