"You only live twice: Once when you're born And once when you look death in the face": First Edition of Ian Fleming's You Only Live Twice; Signed by British Author Roald Dahl
FLEMING, Ian .
You Only Live Twice.
London: Jonathan Cape, 1964.
First edition of the final James Bond novel published during Fleming's lifetime and the eleventh in the series. Octavo, original cloth, patterned endpapers. Boldly signed by Roald Dahl on the front free endpaper. Roald Dahl was a British writer whose darkly comic imagination reshaped twentieth-century children’s literature through classics such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, and Matilda. In 1967, he wrote the screenplay for You Only Live Twice when regular Bond screenwriter Richard Maibaum was unavailable, drawing on his experience with intelligence work and as a fighter pilot. Producers turned to Dahl partly because he was a close friend of Ian Fleming despite having little prior screenwriting experience. Dahl's script significantly deviated from the original novel, inventing much of the film’s plot and several key characters (including Aki and Helga Brandt) while retaining only a handful of elements from the book, a process that helped define the movie’s distinctive blend of Cold War spectacle and serial-style adventure. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Richard Chopping. Rare and desirable signed.
