Pan Books's film tie-in edition, signed by Sean Connery on the title page. Though not marked as such, this copy is from the estate of Connery's agent, Richard Hatton. Founded in 1954, Richard Hatton Ltd represented Connery from the beginning of his screen career. Hatton also developed the films The Hill (1965) and The Anderson Tapes (1971), both starring Connery.

This copy is from the significant Ian Fleming collection of Martin Schøyen (b.1940), with his bookplate.
