Seller's Description:
Good. First edition. Signed on the dedication page by James Bond, the American ornithologist whose name Ian Fleming took for his iconic spy protagonist. Fleming, a keen birdwatcher himself, had a copy of Bond's guide and he later explained to the ornithologist's wife that "It struck me that this brief, unromantic, Anglo-Saxon and yet very masculine name was just what I needed, and so a second James Bond was born." In a Reader's Digest interview, Fleming noted, "I wanted the simplest, dullest, plainest sounding name I could find, and James Bond, was something more interesting, like Peregrine Carruthers. Exotic things would happen to and around him, but he would be a neutral anonymous, blunt instrument wielded by a government department." Bound in publisher's grayish-blue cloth lettered in gilt; lacking the dust jacket. Good, with lean to binding, nearly half of the cloth on front cover is lifted from the board. Pages toned and several hinges exposed. A very scarce book in the first edition, and more so signed.
