About this deal

Publisher's black cloth-effect paper over boards, blocked in silver and red metallic foil, pictorial dust-jacket by Richard Chopping.

Bond wants to get the machine and take Tatiana to Britain by plane, but Tatiana insists on the Orient Express. Their aim is to not only kill him, but destroy his reputation in a public scandal that will make MI6 look bad in the public eye.The Queen Anne Press was established in 1951 by James Gomer Berry, 1st Viscount Kemsley, who was a significant figure in Fleming's life.

Eco—and Anthony Synnott, in his examination of aesthetics in the Bond novels—consider that despite Klebb being female, the character is more akin to a "sexually neuter" individual. The Russians could not longer be the heavies' From Russia with Love and the Cold War in the Bond Series". For her part Dilys was one of the few critics who wholeheartedly welcomed the development of the Bond film franchise, "The cinema was a duller place before 007". Original green wrappers with publisher's device repeated in white, spine and wrappers lettered in black.She is captured but manages to kick Bond with a poisoned blade concealed in her shoe; the story ends with Bond fighting for breath and falling to the floor. Publisher Allen Lane began his Penguin imprint in the UK, and in 1935 launched an American subsidiary, Penguin Books, Inc. The Observer 's critic, Maurice Richardson, thought that From Russia, with Love was a "stupendous plot to trap . Kerim immediately recognizes the three Russians they saw in a meeting a few days before on the train and decides to get them off. From that year until his retirement in 1968, Enoch held various executive positions in these firms, and following retirement he remained active as a book publishing consultant.

The cultural historian Jeremy Black points out that From Russia, with Love was written and published at a time when tensions between East and West were on the rise and public awareness of the Cold War was high. The story centres on a plot by SMERSH, the Soviet counter-intelligence agency, to assassinate Bond in such a way as to discredit both him and his organisation. Slight lean to spine, minor toning to wrappers, repair to front joint, a few spots of foxing to edges: a very good copy.Julian Symons, in The Times Literary Supplement, considered that it was Fleming's "tautest, most exciting and most brilliant tale", that the author "brings the thriller in line with modern emotional needs", and that Bond "is the intellectual's Mike Hammer: a killer with a keen eye and a soft heart for a woman". It includes the original short story 007 in New York, here published for the first time in the UK in book-form, as part of the anthology Octopussy and the Living Daylights.
