The Folio Society On Her Majesty’s Secret Service gives Ian Fleming’s Alpine novel a binding Folio describes as elegantly understated, with a design that nods to both the mountains and Bond’s love of a good suit.
In the books
Bond has been chasing rumours of Blofeld across Europe when an unexpected source places his enemy in the Alps. It is the second book in the Blofeld trilogy and the first time the two meet face to face. Tracy, who wins Bond’s heart by outdriving him, is among Fay Dalton’s seven colour illustrations.
