The Spy Who Loved Me is the tenth novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series, first published in 1962. Unlike the other Bond novels, this story is told from the perspective of a young Canadian woman named Vivienne Michel, who encounters James Bond after she finds herself in a difficult situation at a motel in the Adirondack Mountains. The narrative explores themes of love, trust, and the dynamics of power.

A first edition of 'The Spy Who Loved Me' can be identified by the lack of other titles listed in the 'Also by Ian Fleming' section, which appears on the verso of the title page. Additionally, the dust jacket for the first edition features artwork by Richard Chopping.
