A superb literary association with the author's signed presentation inscription to the front free endpaper, 'to Paul My faithful ad-man from Ian'. Besides being a major author in his own right (Poseidon Adventure, Snow Goose etc) Gallico had been a colleague of Fleming's at Kelmsley. During which time he acted as one of the first readers of Casino Royale. Gallico and John Hayward were instrumental in revising early drafts of Casino and helped Fleming with aspects of several other titles.

Literary associations of the Bond books are uncommon, examples of this significance are rare.
