'My Name's Bond ...'

This book celebrates the greatest of all post-War British fictional icons. For too long the Bond films have overshadowed their literary source--the bizarre, baroque world of Ian Fleming. Full rein is given in this anthology to Fleming's wonderful creations--the deranged villains, their horrifying associates and their surreal lairs: from Dr No's guano island to Blofeld's Garden of Death. Full attention too is paid to the girls, cars, food, drink and cigarettes consumed by the books' brutal, resourceful hero.
