*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: Another visit this week to the dynamic world of James Bond. 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 four examples this update: two from the elusive ‘Models’ cover sequence from the late 1960s, which are less often seen, and two of the ‘Girls With Guns’ covers from the 1970s/80s. More information, including condition notes, can be found in our catalogue.
