To be perverse, you can buy them from used bookstores through the Amazon-owned site Abebooks for a few bucks.

For those who only know Bond via the movies, the original novels are a terrific - not to mention very different -- insight to the character. Plus, they're incredibly quick reads, any of which can easily be consumed in an afternoon.

(Bezos is many things, but idiot is not one of them.)

Bond, try to bring back the Fire X6000-A in one piece please.

If he did own a fluffy white cat, it wouldn't pay any taxes, that's for sure.

On the other hand, I doubt he'd strap it to the roof of his hovercar.

Amen! The movies suck ass, but the books are lean and mean without an ounce of cute. Fleming was a neanderthal when it came to women, though.
