About this deal

These stylish new editions are sure to grab the attention of Bond and Fleming fans as they feature material from the Ian Fleming and Jonathan Cape archives and introductions by John Cork which provide new insight into the history of 007 and his creator. The novels are wrapped in stunning new covers designed by Budapest-based graphic designer and illustrator Levente Szabó, whose work includes projects for BAFTA and the Hungarian Design Council. The cover illustrations cleverly pull together different characters and plot lines from the novels to form a dramatic silhouette. Cohesive and stylish, the covers were a labour of love for Szabó, who says:

Alligator by I*n Fl*m*ng. The story was actually co-authored by Christopher Cerf and Michael K. Frith, who also painted the Barye Phillips style This was a book of two parts. I loved the first part, in which you find out what the Russians are up to, about the individual players - their history and motivation. Then you had the build up of the second part, where the reader is aware of James' fate, but he isn't. What a great read. I love the way Mr Fleming gives you a look at what the baddies are up to. This book proves just what a good writer Fleming is. I like the departure from his usual third person style of the Bond Books and the first person isn't even Bond, just a woman who meets him. Genius. His descriptions really set the scene and he is great at building up the tension. I also liked the 3 part structure in the book. Bond doesn't even appear until the third section - but you don't miss his presence. In fact, he shows up at just the right time! I really enjoyed this book. I loved the messes poor Bond got into and the spectacular way he got out of them! Book Bond is much more satisfying than Film Bond, much more human, makes mistakes and doesn't get laid as much. I was a little unsure about the ending - bedding a lesbian. I was quite disapointed with poor Pussy. If she had been written now she would have been much stronger and not jumped into bed with him. But, as this book was written in the late 1950's, I guess it was of it's time. I do find it surprising how little the books have dated. cover with the text ‘NOW AN EXCITING NEW MOTION PICTURE’. Interestingly the Signet THUNDERBALL movie tie-in also used an alternate version of

I really enjoyed the plot of this book, even tho the plot is completly different from the film (which I enjoyed). I think the books show a more human Bond - who doesn't always get the girl, and infact gets hurt rather a lot (physically like). This book is also interesting as it is set entirely in England.

The James Bond Complete Collection: All 14 Original Books

written by his friend Cyril Connolly (1903-1974)], which was published in the London Magazine in April 1963, and later as aEach edition also includes new introductions by screenwriter, author and documentary filmmaker John Cork. He has co-authored three books on the James Bond phenomenon and he wrote and directed the documentary, Ian Fleming: 007’s Creator. The introductions provide fascinating insight into the three novels and Cork explains his inspiration here: I did enjoy my first read of the first James Bond Book. Wasn't what I expected, but I think it has stood the test of time well. I found it interesting that there is no description of Bond! He's a white man with dark hair. No age, or other description. I wonder what I'll learn from the rest of the books, which I have lined up to read next.

Another enjoyable Bond outing. I was quite sad to read about poor Quarrel tho. When reading Bond, you really get the impression that Mr Fleming has done lots of research and knows what he is writing about. I was really curious to know if there was some big influence on the success of the series since is so fast and easy read. Goldfinger este cel mai lung roman al lui Ian Fleming, si il pune pe James Bond fata in fata cu cel mai inteligent, cel mai puternic si cel mai crud criminal intilnit vreodata de 007, Auric Golgfinger. Si totul porneste de la un banal joc de canasta in doi...

Organizatia SMERS este o organizatie sovietica de razbunare, tortura si moarte, iar James Bond este hotarat sa-i distruga agentii oriunde ii intilneste. Pe de alta parte insa, SMERS are ochii atintiti asupra lui Bond, iar la Moscova se pregateste o capcana pentru 007. Povestirile din acest volum rivalizeaza cu cele mai bune romane din seria James Bond, fiind strabatute de aceeasi tensiune electrizanta si senazuala pe care doar celebrul spion o poate emana. Berlin, Londra, Jamaica... 007 este prezent pretutindeni pentru a rezolva cazuri imposibile pentru un muritor de rand.I was pleased to see how the books evolved and understand why Ian Fleming regretted "the spy who loved me" and asked to make a fully original story for the film. of YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, featured a simple stylized illustration of Paul Bacon's artwork of Dr. Shatterhand in James Bond a cazut in dizgratie. Viata traita "din plin" i-a ruinat sanatatea si M il trimite, pentru refacere, la un sanatoriu, timp de doua saptamani. Ultimul lucru la care se poate astepta este ca acolo va intinli un adversar mai crud decit organizatia SMERS.
