*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. Three of the classic 1960s design covers from Raymond Hawkey this week, which are the ones I grew up with, plus a contemporary movie cover for From Russia With Love. More information, including condition notes, can be found in our catalogue.
