A collection of James Bond memorabilia owned by the man thought to be the inspiration for the fictional spy is up for auction in Edinburgh.
The novels were owned by the late Sir Fitzroy Maclean, a former diplomat, soldier and MP.
He became friends with Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond novels, before World War II.
Sir Fitzroy's full collection of novels and other personal papers and pictures is expected to sell for up to £20,000.
The collection is being sold at auctioneers Lyon and Turnbull.
He was based at embassies in Paris and Moscow and was parachuted into Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia on a secret wartime mission to help Tito.
In the war Sir Fitzroy volunteered for and distinguished himself in the newly established SAS in North Africa.
The novels on sale include early editions of "Casino Royale", "Moonraker", "Dr No" and "From Russia with Love".
Describing the works on sale, the Lyon and Turnbull catalogue says: "Various models have been suggested as the prototype for modern fiction's most famous hero, and of them all Sir Fitzroy Maclean -- diplomat, war hero, traveller, clan chieftain and outstanding public servant - -is one of the most plausible."
