About this Item

"For Your Eyes Only" by Ian Fleming. Jonathan Cape, London. 1960 first UK edition first printing. Book in very good condition, with dust jacket in very good condition. A little light spotting, original cloth (head of spine faded), price-clipped dust jacket, one or two nicks, a couple of light water stains, 8vo. For Your Eyes Only is a collection of short stories by the British author Ian Fleming, featuring the fictional British Secret Service agent Commander James Bond. It was first published by Jonathan Cape on 11 April 1960. It marked a change of format for Fleming, who had previously written James Bond stories only as full-length novels. The collection contains five short stories: "From a View to a Kill", "For Your Eyes Only", "Quantum of Solace", "Risico" and "The Hildebrand Rarity". Four of the stories were adaptations of plots for a television series that was never filmed, while the fifth Fleming had written previously but not published. Fleming undertook some minor experiments with the format, including a story written as an homage to W. Somerset Maugham, an author he greatly admired. Seller Inventory # ABE-1568050359512
