Well, you don't have to tell me about Flemings' novels.
Here on the pic is "From Russia With Love" - by the way pretty faithfully presented in the Film with Robert Shaw as a villain and Daniela Bianchi as "Tatiana". (Bond film No2.)

I loved this novel for one more ...[text shortened]...
He got a monument in Ohrid after his death "for hos novels contributed to Macedonian tourism"!!

Thank you - I will try to find these books.

I do recomend that one reads the Ian Fleming novels.

Someone dropped one of these in my hands a few years ago.
I've now read four. They really are good.

Forget the film. They bought the title and the character, nothing more.

In Moonraker Bond never leaves England and a third of the book is taken
up with how to catch Drax cheating at cards. All ...[text shortened]... traight into Drax's eyes......."

Perhaps 'Morphy's Eyes' should be up with the Child Catcher.

Fun facts: Fleming only wrote 12 Bond novels and two Bond short story collections, and his last two Bond books were published posthumously.

I have collected all of them in paperback from book sales and I have read them all. They are fun reads very different from the movies.

'The Bond that time forgot.' I liked that film. Diana Rigg was terrific, and Lazenby's Bond was believable--not so much gadgetry as the later Bonds--fabulous skiing scene in the Swiss Alps.
