(Ian Fleming, James Bond, You Only Live Twice), A rare Ian Fleming James Bond poster for the novel 'You Only Live Twice', first published Jonathan Cape Ltd, 1964, the poster presumably a promotional item produced for the launch of the book, approx size 75.5 x 50cm, on board, with the author's surname in block capitals at head of poster in the iconic 'Tea Chest' stencil typeface, first used with such stunning effect on the 'From Russia with Love' dust jacket, where the beautiful and classic Trompe L'oeil illustration by Richard Chopping is in stark contrast to the rough boldness of Tea Chest, thereafter becoming part of the house style in the Jonathan Cape UK first editions of the vast majority of Bond novels, including the Chopping designed dust jacket of 'You Only Live Twice'. The title of the book in English and Japanese characters vertically descending on the right hand side of the poster, the main image of the poster a montage consisting of a photographic portrait of a Japanese lady (presumably the main female character in the novel, "Kissy Suzuki"), a Chrysanthemum flower, an iconic Walther PPK pistol, and a toad sitting on a torn out newspaper obituary for Commander James Bond, and the text "Jonathan Cape 16s" to lower right. The toad and the pink chrysanthemum also echo the Richard Chopping designed dust jacket for the novel. You Only Live Twice was published in the UK on 16 March 1964, by Jonathan Cape and cost sixteen shillings. There were 62,000 pre-orders for the book, a significant increase over the 42,000 advance orders for the hardback first edition of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Some wear to extremities and corners, slight toning and light waterstaining to the "L" & "E" of "FLEMING" at head of poster, corner mounted in a modern box frame. A very scarce Ian Fleming James Bond item.
