Ian Fleming a Memorial Address by William Plomer 1st 1964 + 3 original photos

First and only edition privately printed in 1964. There were two versions of Ian Fleming's memorial address printed: a soft wrappered edition and this much rare hardback edition. One of only fifty copies. This copy is in near fine condition, with only the odd light mark on the boards. A couple of the corners have been gently pushed. Without its clear glassine jacket. The memorial book comes with three original photos of Ian Fleming from the 1950's or 60's. They are of Fleming at different stages of his life. The first two have a 'commercial department' stamp on the back and have been perhaps produced from an archive. The first photo shows a very young Ian Fleming with a couple dressed as if in fancy dress or in a play. The second photo is of a middle aged Fleming with his wife being introduced to a couple. The last photo has a 'society wedding press ltd' stamp on the back and looks to be an original early 1960's photo of Fleming and his wife at a wedding. The photos are in very good condition with the odd crease mark to the extremities. Overall a rare collection of photos of Ian fleming along with the very rare hardback copy of his memorial address by William Plomer. [Gilbert p650]
