Octopussy and The Living Daylights
- London: Jonathan Cape, 1966
London: Jonathan Cape, 1966. First edition. Fine/Fine. A Fine copy in like priceclipped dust jacket. A remarkably bright and attractive copy in an equally appealing jacket.
Containing two of the final James Bond stories. Octopussy traces Bond's work to apprehend a WWII hero involved in the theft of a cache of Nazi gold. Told largely from the perspective of Smythe, whose flashbacks track Bond's work to arrest him, the story poses a dilemma for 007, who wishes to spare the reputation of a man who has devolved from hero into alcoholic eccentric. Meanwhile, the second story The Living Daylights documents Bond's experiences aiding agents escaping from East to West Berlin while under pursuit from the KGB. Fine in Fine dust jacket.
