Notes

Written by the wife of American ornithologist James Bond.

62 pages, with two photographic illustrations comprising a frontispiece portrait of the subject and Ian Fleming's only meeting with James Bond.

© Mary F. W. Bond, 1966.
Printed in Great Britain. Collins Clear-Type Press, London and Glasgow.

Book dimensions: Octavo (20 cm x 15cm). Clothbound in a pictorial dust-wrapper, designed by Barbosa, after Richard Chopping's designs for the jackets of the original 007 novels.

The back of the dust-jacket bears a black and white photo of Ian Fleming's inscription to James Bond on the front free end paper of a British First Edition of Fleming's latest novel You Only Live Twice that he gave to Bond when they met in February 1964. In December 2008 the book was put up for auction, eventually fetching $84,000 (£56,000) - see here.

The photographic illustrations are used with acknowledgement to the author and publisher, and are included here for educational purposes.

 No. 1 in the Top 50 books viewed yesterday, probably as a result of featuring the entry on a James Bond books Facebook group.

 When ornithologist James Bond called in on Ian Fleming at Goldeneye on 5 February 1964, the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) were in the middle of interviewing the author. When he broke off to greet Mr and Mrs Bond, the cameras followed them outside. I have not been able to track down footage of this, but what follows in this clip is the CBC interviewer asking Fleming how he came about selecting a name for the hero of his books.
