Books Bondage
posted by on May 19 at 10:31 AM
The Penguin Blog has images of their most recent British reissue of Ian Fleming’s James Bond series. The covers focus on the ladies, which is probably a wise choice; I’ve always found Fleming’s novels to be less about guns, booze, and tuxedoes (which have almost always wound up on the covers of Bond novels since the movies) and more about pitchin’ woo while fighting evil.
Hmm. I stopped reading the books when I realized that John Gardner had managed to outdo Ian Fleming with his continuation of the series. That just made me sad.
As Hawkeye Pierce parroted back to Frank Burns: "'Pitching woo? PITCHING WOO?!?'"
