London: Cape, 1965. A first edition, first printing of 'The Man With The Golden Gun' by Ian Fleming published by Cape in 1965. A very good and some wear to the boards book SIGNED by Sir Roger Moore to the title page without dedication - some rubbing to the spine tips and corners. In a very good unclipped wrapper with a little wear to the spine tips and corners and some browning to the spine and some spotting to the rear panel. Rare signed by Sir Roger. Roger Moore, the suave English actor, portrayed James Bond in seven films, including "The Man with the Golden Gun" (1974). Filming in exotic locations like Thailand, the production faced challenges due to political unrest. Moore's charm and wit, epitomising the Bond character, shone through despite difficulties. The film featured iconic sequences, including the car barrel-roll stunt. Moore's performance, blending humour and action, solidified his place as one of the most beloved Bonds. "The Man with the Golden Gun"…

The Man with the Golden Gun is the twelfth novel (and thirteenth book) of Ian Fleming's James Bond series. It was first published by Jonathan Cape in the UK on 1 April 1965, eight months after the author's death. The novel was not as detailed or polished as the others in the series, leading to poor but polite reviews. Despite that, the book was a best-seller. The story centers on the fictional British Secret Service agent Commander James Bond, who had been thought dead, only to return to the Secret Service alive and well. In the novel, Bond is sent to assassinate Francisco 'Pistols' Scaramanga, a notorious hitman, who is believed to be responsible for the disappearance of several British intelligence operatives.
