The Spy Who Loved Me London: Jonathan Cape,, 1962. Octavo. Original dark grey boards, spine lettered in silver, dagger design to front board in silver and blind, red endpapers. With the pictorial dust jacket. Bookplate to front pastedown. An excellent, bright copy in the unclipped jacket, with a little rubbing to extremities and nick to head of rear panel. First edition, first impression. In many ways this is one of the most ambitious of Fleming's Bond books. It purports to be the first hand testimony of a 23 year old Canadian woman with whom Bond has an ill-fated affair. In time-honoured literary tradition Fleming claims to have been sent Michel's manuscript account of which he is merely the editor. Michel therefore gets a spurious credit as co-author on the title page. This novel is the only Bond book to be written in the first person. [Bookseller: Peter Harrington]

Reinhart in Love New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. (1962). First. First edition. Stains along the edges of the boards, thus a sound but good only copy in a good but presentable dustwrapper with a corresponding stain visible only on the rear panel. The Dedication Copy Inscribed by the author to his parents: "Love, Tom II. This book has already been dedicated to you by Thomas Berger." The printed dedication reads: "To my father and mother." Berger was a fine, if now ridiculously underappreciated author. He wrote successfully in several genres, but is best known for his picaresque western Little Big Man, the basis for the film of the same name. Indeed it was his success at so many genres (literary fiction, mysteries, epics, westerns, comedies, etc.) that might have contributed to the failure of critics to properly value him. This is the author's second book, and the second in his series featuring Carlo Reinhart, with a wonderful association. . [Bookseller: Between the Covers- Rare Books, Inc. ABA]

Typed Letter Signed Remsenburg, New York: np. First Edition. letter. IMPORTANT SIGNED LETTER ON THE ORIGIN OF THE NAMES WOOSTER AND JEEVES. Wodehouse's letter, dated May 20, 1962, is in response to a letter from G.L.C. "Bertie" Wooster, asking Wodehouse if he had known his father at Clifton College and perhaps gotten the name "Wooster" from him. Wodehouse writes in full: Dear Mr Wooster. I was very interested to get a letter signed by your honoured name! But I wasn't at Clifton. I was at Dulwich. I can't remember how I got the name Wooster. I think it may have been from a serial in the old Captain, where one of the characters was called Worcester. The odd thing is that the Bertie W. character started out as Reggie Pepper, and I don't know why I changed the name. Jeeves I got from watching a Warwickshire v Gloucestershire match. One of the Warwickshire bowlers was called Jeeves, and it seemed just the name I wanted. I have just shipped off a new Jeeves novel to the Jenkins people. It is a sequel to The Code of the Woosters, and has come out very well. It won't be published till next year, as I have a Blandings Castle story coming out in June and they never like to publish more than one a year. Yours sincerely, [signed] P.G. Wodehouse The sequel Wodehouse refers to is almost certainly Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, published in 1963. With original typed envelope and a note from G. L. C. Wooster (signed "Bertie") explaining the context of the letter to Wodehouse. Also with a photograph (5x7 in) of Wodehouse. Remsenburg, New York: May 20, 1962. One page (6x7 inches), on Wodehouse's Remsenburg, New York letterhead. Horizontal fold, some light browning and foxing. A fascinating insight into the origins of the names of two of the most iconic characters in English literature.

KING RAT Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1962. First Edition, preceding the UK issue by one year. 8vo, publisher's original cream boards lettered on the spine in dark green, in the original dustjacket. 406 pp. A very nice copy of this scarce debut novel, with only a bit of mellowing to the boards as can be expected due to their colour, a bit of spotting to the fore-edge and top edge, the jacket in a very pleasing state of preservation, bright and clean with only very minimal evidence of shelving. THE AUTHOR'S DEBUT NOVEL, HIS MOST COLLECTABLE AND ALSO CONSIDERED BY MANY HIS BEST. KING RAT is his semi-fictional account based on his own experiences in a Japanese prison camp near Singapore during the final days of the war. The initial printing was only 7500 copies, but it soon would be an international bestseller and would in less then three years be turned into a motion picture by Bryan Forbes and starring George Segal. KING RAT is also the first in what would become the author's epic decades-spanning "Asian Saga" that would include TAI-PAN, SHOGUN, NOBLE HOUSE and GAI-JIN. [Bookseller: Buddenbrooks, Inc.]
