Later, in Paris, after successfully delivering Romanova and the booby-trapped Spektor to his superiors, Bond meets Rosa Klebb. He feels that the "Fleming Sweep steadily propels the plot" of From Russia, with Love and, though it was the longest of Fleming's novels, "the Sweep makes it seem half as long". Original black boards, lettering to spines in silver, excepting gilt lettering on Goldfinger and The Man With the Golden Gun.
During this time, Bond not only sees more of Istanbul than he ever wanted, but he becomes involved in a plot against Kerim by a local gang who work for the Soviets. Boothroyd's suggestions came too late to be included in From Russia, with Love, but one of the guns—a . Grant explains the plan to kill Bond and Tatiana, making it look like a murder-suicide committed by Bond when Tatiana revealed the blackmail film of them, planted in the compartment. Kingsley Amis, who later wrote a Bond novel, considers that the story is "full of pace and conviction", [51] while Parker identifies "cracks" in the plot of the novel, but believes that "the action mov[es] fast enough for the reader to skim over them".Bond is thrown off by Klebb's innocent-old-lady act just long enough for her to get the drop on him, and they fight as Bond tries to hold off the poisoned knitting needles she uses as weapons. Provided with a later plain brown paper jacket with printed labels, made for ready-reference purposes.
M and Bond are both suspicious, but are intrigued by the odd setup and the huge payoff, and decide to play along for the time being. A few small spot to top edge, binding quite fresh with bright lettering, dust-wrapper has benefited from some discreet professional restoration. James Bond appears to have responded by sending Fleming a reciprocal gift for the following letter thanks him for a "tremendously impressive" bottle which would be kept "in the office in case either I or my secretary feel faint with over-work". The story was serialised in the Daily Express newspaper, first in an abridged, multi-part form and then as a comic strip. all this left Fleming rather stunned, and he gave his private verdict on the Interpol Conference in a letter to Admiral Godfrey.
Following on from the character development of Bond in his previous four novels, Fleming adds further background to Bond's private life, largely around his home life and personal habits, with Bond's introduction to the story seeing him at breakfast with his housekeeper, May. The book contains a series of elaborate plots and counterplots, between the British and the Soviet intelligence agencies. From that year until his retirement in 1968, Enoch held various executive positions in these firms, and following retirement he remained active as a book publishing consultant.
