Vintage 007 James Bond Collection 14 Books Set By Ian Fleming (Casino Royal, Live And Let Die, Moon Raker, Diamonds Are Forever, From Russia With Love, Dr No, Gold Finger, For Your Eyes Only & More)

I'm that kid back in the late 1960's who saw Dr. No on the ABC Sunday Night Movie and became a life long James Bond fan. I'd read books and saw documentaries about Ian Fleming and wanted to read the original source material all of those films, comic books and computer games came from. Commander Fleming uses precise detail in describing any location his characters stride onto, any brand name items, weapons or vehicles they may drive and any food, wines or spirits they might partake in exacting detail. Very much a "you are there" feeling is created as you read these time capsule novels of the Cold War-era popular culture espionage series. This collection is a Must Read for any fan of James Bond, thriller stories or student of action writing. "Do bring them back in one piece, 0-0-7!"

Llegó antes de tiempo y sí están todos los libros

excellent condition, covers colorful and well-designed; haven't read them all, but really liked Casino Royale; Ian Fleming's style, insider tales and mood setting are much different than most writers of this genre.

I bought this as a gift. The recipient is a big Bond fan. They loved it and read Casino Royale that night!

Who knew that the books & movies have so little in common, sometimes only a title & other times some character names. Did you know JB had an office & secretary & Q wasn't a person? Great "new" stories for JB fans though the Brit Speak can get a bit rough to understand (notecase=wallet).
