The Spring number of The
Book Collector will be a special issue on the theme “Ian Fleming & Book
Collecting”. Ian Fleming was the publisher of The Book Collector from its
start, and the principal shareholder from 1955 until his death.
Spring 2017 marks the
65th anniversary of the magazine’s launch, and the first anniversary of
The Book Collector’s reversion to the Fleming family, after 50 years, in
the person of James Fleming, the novelist’s nephew.
Contributors to the issue
will include Fergus Fleming, editor of Ian Fleming’s letters, on “Ian
Fleming and The Book Collector”, Joel Silver, Director of the Lilly
Library, Indiana University, on “Books That Had Started Something: Ian
Fleming’s Book Collection”, and Nicolas Barker, for 50 years Editor of The
Book Collector, on his former editorial colleague, “Percy Muir: Ian
Fleming’s Bookseller”. Jon Gilbert, compiler of the prize-winning Ian
Fleming: The Bibliography, writes on “Collecting Ian Fleming”, and Sheila
Markham interviews two Fleming collectors, Michael L. VanBlaricum and
Jeremy Miles.
