Ian Fleming covers rule!

Also, just read today someone picked up the contract on the original Flaming Bond novels. New set coming.

I have them all in various paperbacks, but would enjoy a reasonably priced e'set, as well. Maybe they'll do that for me ;) (or, maybe even a print set that matches)

I hear ya Paul, I have quite a number of doubles on account of great pulpy covers.

Paul R. McNamee said...

Flaming Bond?

Clearly, I meant Fleming! (sorry)

Flaming Bond? Isn't that the one where he spilled his vodka martini (shaken, not stirred) on himself and ash from his cigarette ignited it?

I didn't even catch the error until Paul recommented.

Fabulous finds as always.

I love the "I'm old" pics. I don't feel that old until I think about things like that.

I also love those James Bond covers. I have a couple of the books picked up from thrift stores, etc, but they're fairly dry covers as covers go.

Loved the Flaming Bond conversation above, BTW. :)

Charles Gramlich said...

Yeah, I was wondering if "Flaming Bond" was a series of Bond sex romp books of which I was unfamiliar.

Okie, Charles - I hope Paul knows how much we appreciate his contribution to Bond Lit.

Those are great. I must share the rebel bass one with my bass-playing son. He'll get a huge kick out of that.

Excellent Angie-Bass is awesome!
