First Edition of Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only; Signed by Him
First edition of the eighth novel in Ian Fleming’s James Bond series. Octavo, original black cloth. Boldly signed by Ian Fleming on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Richard Chopping. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box made by the Harcourt Bindery. Uncommon signed.
The collection contains five short stories: "From a View to a Kill", "For Your Eyes Only", "Quantum of Solace", "Risico" and "The Hildebrand Rarity". It has "the only British dust jacket with any depiction of Bond: the eye in the peephole is his. Fleming made artist Richard Chopping paint it many times, until he was satisfied with the shape and, particularly, the color" (Biondi & Pickard, 46). It was made into the 1981 film starring Roger Moore and Carole Bouquet; the 1985 film A View to a Kill starring Moore, Christopher Walken, and Grace Jones and the 2008 film A Quantum of Solace starring Daniel Craig.
