The first question that comes to my mind is: as these letters are going to be auctioned, if they are bought by a private collector, will their content be definitely lost to all Bond / Fleming scholars? It would be a shame, as they seem to be full of very interesting bits about the editorial process behind many novels, apparently. I hope at least a copy will remain available for the general public!
