James Bond First Editions

The Great Spy Race.

DIMENT, Adam (born 1943).

London: Michael Joseph, 1968. [Spy novel] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (21 x 14cm), pp.208. Blue cloth, gilt titles to spine, in Richard Chopping-esque pictorial dust-jacket designed by Broom Lynne. Near fine but for an unfortunate production fault to p.105, where the leaf has snagged in the gutter (text perfectly legible once unfolded). Similar near fine jacket. A risqué James Bond-style spoof, being the second adventure featuring Adam Diment's highly-sexed, pot-smoking British agent Philip McAlpine (an obvious predecessor of Austin Powers). Item #61029
