About This Item
First edition, first state. Ian Fleming, Goldfinger, London: Jonathan Cape, 1959. Overall very good condition. Dust jacket currently housed in protective, but removable, mylar. Interior is bright without markings; cloth covers are crisp without issue. Some foxing along foredges, otherwise no condition issues to report. One of the best known James Bond aventures, Goldfinger is the seventh of Ian Fleming's culture-changing series and the third opportunity Sir Sean Connery had to seduce us all via the film franchize that launched from the novels.
Synopsis
In Ian Fleming's Goldfinger , we are introduced to Auric Goldfinger. This man is without a doubt the most phenomenal criminal Bond has ever faced! This evil genius likes his cash in gold bars and his women dressed in gold paint - and now he is planning to steal all the gold in Fort Knox. That is, unless Secret Agent 007 can stop him! He must first take on two of the most memorable Bond villains: a human weapon named Oddjob and a luscious crime boss named Pussy Galore. Originally titled The Richest Man in the World, Goldfinger is the seventh novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series (preceded by Dr. No and followed by For Your Eyes Only). Fleming structured the novel in three sections — “Happenstance,” “Coincidence,” and “Enemy Action” — which was how Goldfinger described Bond's three seemingly coincidental meetings with him. As a whole, the novel centers on James Bonds’ investigation into the gold smuggling activities of Auric Goldfinger, the richest man in England, who is also suspected of being connected to the Soviet counter-intelligence organization. As well as establishing the background to the smuggling operation, Bond uncovers a much larger plot: Goldfinger’s plan to steal the gold reserves of the United States from Fort Knox.
