Welcome to the literary world of James Bond 007

In February 1952, Ian Fleming borrowed the name of an American ornithologist, sat down at his Jamaican getaway and wrote Casino Royale. Nearly 70 years later, James Bond remains a global phenomenon and is arguably the most enduring character in the history of fiction. James Bond Books is dedicated to the literary world of 007: his creator, the authors that followed, and the countless volumes of non-fiction work that explore every aspect of this remarkable character. |
