About This Item
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1996. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. Signed by Author. First UK Edition. FIRST HODDER EDITION (not to be confused with the BCA Edition). INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR ON THE TITLE PAGE. Publisher's black boards with gilt spine lettering. Spine tips a little pushed and the usual faint toning to the paper-stock (due to the poor quality of paper used) otherwise a VG+ copy in a fine dustwrapper priced £16.99 to the inside flap (as called for). The first edition status of this book is evidenced by the number line on the copyright page: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE (LATE) AUTHOR ON THE TITLE PAGE: "With all good wishes./ John Gardner". A scarce book, especially signed. I was fortunate to know the late John Gardner very well and visited him on several occasions at his alms house in Basingstoke. On one of those visits John informed me that he probably only flat signed about half a dozen copies of this Hodder first edition which perhaps explains why signed copies of this movie novelisation so seldom appear on the market. Laid into this copy is a short, un-signed, note from John Gardner: "This edition of the Book-of-the-Film Goldeneye is unique, in that you will not be able to buy it in stores. The hardback edition is being produced only in the United Kingdom for sale to libraries". Photographs/scans available upon request.
