*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: This week’s featured books need no introduction from me. Ian Fleming’s iconic creation is known worldwide thanks to the hugely successful movie franchise, but James Bond got his start in novels, so it is in this category that these books belong. And let me tell you, the books are darker and deeper than the films, less gadgety and more visceral. We have nine of the thirteen Fleming books in our listings, all in a superb Pan uniform livery, which is the edition from the 1960s that I grew up with.
