First edition of the first novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. Octavo, original black cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Ralph, We have now both reduced our remainders by one copy! Ian." With a note of explanation by the recipient underneath, "I having told Ian, from the depths of my publishing experience, that he would be lucky if he made GBP200 out of this, his first thriller!! R.A." The recipient Ralph Arnold was a novelist, historical writer and publisher who joined Constable in 1936 and was chairman from 1958 to 1962. Arnold and Fleming studied together at the Tennerhof School in Kitzbuhel, Austria, and it was there that both made their first forays into story-writing. Having left Sandhurst without obtaining a commission, Fleming "was sent to 'sort himself out' at a quasi-finishing school for men in Kitzbuhel . There, while skiing and climbing mountains, he came under the benevolent tutelage of Ernan Forbes Dennis, a former British spy turned educationalist, and his wife, Phyllis Bottome, an established novelist. Forbes Dennis brought out Fleming's aptitude for languages and introduced him to literature, while his wife encouraged him to write his first stories." (Oxford DNB). Near fine in a near fine first state dust jacket (without the Sunday Times review on the inner front flap) with the lightest of rubbing to the extremities. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Casino Royale was written by Ian Fleming in Jamaica over a period of around two months, largely from his own experiences and imagination; he also devised the artwork for the cover. "Within the first few pages Fleming had introduced most of Bond's idiosyncrasies and trademarks," which included his looks, his Bentley and his smoking and drinking habits. The full details of Bond's martini were kept until chapter seven of the book and Bond eventually named it "The Vesper", after Vesper Lynd" (Andrew Lycett). It has been filmed twice as a feature film, the first being the 1967 spoof starring David Niven, and later as the twenty-first official Bond film starring Daniel Craig as James Bond.

Large quarto. Original vellum with titles to spine in gilt, central vignette after a Clarke design to front cover in gilt, within gilt frame, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. An excellent copy, fresh and bright within and without, a few very minor marks to vellum and a small superficial crack to vellum at the inner corner of rear board. Frontispiece and 23 plates in black and white with tissue guards, title page vignette, head- and tailpieces. First Clarke edition, deluxe signed limited issue, number 106 of 170 copies signed by the illustrator and specially bound in full vellum. Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was a leading figure in the Irish arts and crafts movement, particularly noted for his work as a stained-glass artist. This book, with Clarke's imaginings of Poe's macabre Tales, was the first to establish him as an illustrator; it was subsequently reissued in 1923 with additional colour plates. This original deluxe issue of his seminal production, with its notably small limitation, is much sought after.

In the probable first state, the lithographed plates opposite pp. 66 and 225 are tinted brown and pale green respectively; in the second state, the lithograph opposite p. 225 is tinted brown and differs substantially from its counterpart in the first state; and in the third state, both lithographs have been replaced with black and white engravingsî (Norman Library). ìLivingstoneís contributions to European knowledge of African geography and ethnography remain virtually unequalled. In three major expeditions (1853-1856, 1858-1864 and 1865-1873), he covered a third of the continent, from the Cape to the Equator and from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, observing and delineating regions previously unknown to white men; he was the first European to explore the Zambesi River, and gave Victoria Falls its present name. Livingstone also brought his powers of observation to bear on the native peoples he encountered, and was inspired by what he saw to entertain not only evangelical notions of their salvation, but political and medican ones as well. He was the first to disclose to the European world the terrible effects of the slave trade upon native populations; the horrors of this ërunning sore of Africaí moved him to campaign actively for its abolition. He also provided an accurate account of the tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans), along with the disease its bite produced in cattle; at the time the flyís bite was thought to be (and perhaps was) harmless to manî (Norman Library). David Livingstone (1813-1873) ìbecame a missionary and was sent to South Africa by the London Missionary Society in 1840. From then onwards his life was devoted to the exploration of central Africa. Although a missionary...he regarded himself more as a pioneer explorer opening up the country for others. Livingstoneís services to African geography during thirty years are almost unequalled; he covered about a third of the continent from the Cape to the Equator and from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. He made three great expeditions; in 1853-6 (described in this book), 1858-64 and 1865-73, of which the first and third are the most important. During these years he explored vast regions of central Africa, many of which had never been seen by white men before. Hie first discovered the Zambesi River at Secheke and followed it northwards, eventually reaching the west coast of Africa at Luanda, Angola, and the east coast at Quelimane, Mozambique. In 1855 he discovered the great falls of the Zambesi and named them the Victoria Falls. He explored the Zambesi, Shire and Ruyuma rivers and found the salt lake Chilwa and Lake Nyasa...The geographical results of his journeys were of supreme importance, and made it possible to fill in great stretches of the maps of Central Africa which hitherto had been blankî (Printing and the Mind of Man).

2 volumes, octavo (203 x 133 mm). Recent Russian brown half calf to style, raised bands, dark red labels, gold vein marbled paper sides, contrasting marbled endpapers. Housed in a custom leather-entry slipcase. Some staining and browning. With half-titles. First complete edition, very rare presentation copy to Aleksandr Petrovich Miliukov (1817-1897), inscribed by the author in Russian at the head of the first half-title, "Aleksandr Petrovich Miliukov, from the author, in memory, with respect and sincere devotion". A superb association for this novel. Miliukov and Dostoevsky's brother Mikhail were the only two people present to say farewell when Dostoevsky began his journey to Siberian prison and exile on 24 December 1849 (Leonid Grossman, Dostoevskii, Moscow 1965, p. 158). Ten years later, Miliukov was among the party at Nikolaevsky railway station to welcome him back to St Petersburg. In the meantime Dostoevsky had undergone the transformational prison experiences that he documents in this semi-autobiographical novel. In all probability it was Miliukov who reviewed Diadiushkin son (Uncle's Dream), the comic novella that marked Dostoevsky's return to the literary scene after a decade's silence, in the 29 April 1859 issue of the Brussels newspaper, Le Nord. In September 1860 Dostoevsky agreed to serve as the godfather of Miliukov's son. And it was at Miliukov's urging that Dostoevsky engaged the services of the stenographer who was later to become the author's second wife. For Dostoevsky's description of Miliukov's warm personality, see Dostoevsky, Polnoe sobranie, vol. 18 (Leningrad, 1978), p. 168. On publication Miliukov gave Notes from the House of the Dead a highly favourable review, and later described the circumstances surrounding its publication in his memoir, Literaturnye vstrechi i znakomstva (Literary Meetings and Acquaintances; St. Petersburg, 1890): "This work came out under circumstances that were quite favourable; the censorship at that time was animated by a breath of tolerance and in literature works appeared which until recently were still unthinkable in print. Although the novelty of the book, devoted exclusively to the mode of convict life, the sombre canvas of all these stories about terrible evildoers and, lastly, the fact that the author himself was a political criminal who had just returned, somewhat disturbed the censor, yet this, notwithstanding, did not force Dostoevsky to deviate in anything from the truth, and Notes from the House of Death produced a startling impression. In the author they saw a new Dante who had descended into hell, the more horrible in that it existed not in a poet's imagination, but in reality." During the latter part of the 1860s and the beginning of the 1870s, the relationship between the two men cooled. Earlier, in 1859 Miliukov had become the editor of the new "thick journal" (tolstyi zhurnal) Svetoch. In a letter of 28 September that year, Miliukov invited Dostoevsky to write for it. Dostoevsky agreed to collaborate on Svetoch but never published any of his works there. It is interesting to note that former Petrashevets and poet Aleksei Pleshcheev foresaw a problem with Miliukov's ability to give life to a journal. In October 1859, before Svetoch had begun publication, Pleshcheev wrote to Dostoevsky that Miliukov was "good, intelligent, but to what extent he is capable of setting a tone for the journal, of breathing life into it with a lively new word - the question still remains" (Mikhail Alekseev, ed., Literaturnyi arkhiv. Materialy po istorii literaturyi obshchestvennogo dvizheniia, vol. 6, Moscow 1961, p. 261). This is an outstanding association for the first major work of Dostoevky's maturity. The novel marks a sea-change in his fiction. The mock execution he endured, the four years hard labour in prison camp, the years of military service and exile after that, all marked him for life and would lead him onto the themes of his later novels. From The House of the Dead on, all his great works would concern a murder. Tolstoy so admired The House of the Dead that he wrote "I don't know a better book in all literature" and asked a mutual friend, "Please tell him that I love him". This two-volume edition is the first complete edition in book form, following the serial publication by Bazunov in the literary journal Time in 1861 and 1862 and the publication of volume I only by Eduard Prats in 1862. Full inscriptions by Dostoevsky are very rare. The only example in auction records is a selection of parts of Dnevnik Pisatelya for 1877 (A Writer's Diary, 1877), with one wrapper inscribed by the author and a fuller inscription from Dostoevsky to the compositor of the December part pasted onto the front free endpaper, sold at auction in 1983.
