The Bookclub 1963

First Bookclub Edition 

The First Bookclub edition of one of Ian Fleming's most successful James Bond books complete in its original dustwrapper. 

In the aftermath of Operation Thunderball, Ernst Stavro Blofeld's trail

has gone cold—and so has 007's love for his job. The only thing that can rekindle his passion is Contessa Teresa "Tracy" di Vicenzo, a troubled young woman who shares his taste for fast cars and danger. She's the daughter of a powerful crime boss, and he thinks Bond's hand in marriage may be the solution to all her problems. Bond's not ready to settle down—yet—but he soon finds himself falling for the enigmatic Tracy.After finally tracking the SPECTRE chief to a stronghold in the Swiss Alps, Bond uncovers the details of Blofeld's latest plot: a biological warfare scheme more audacious than anything the fiend has tried before. Now Bond must save the world once again—and survive Blofeld's last, very personal, act of vengeance. (Source : Amazon)
