A comprehensive guide to Ian Fleming, the books, the films and the world that was created out of 007. The world's fascination with Bond is unstoppable. James Bond is the greatest British fictional hero of the post-war era. He also has a huge following in the US - and around the world - as a legendary Cold War warrior and now as a daredevil able to take on the villains of the post-Cold War world. The Bond books are all still in print and today Sebastian Faulks is writing new stories while Charlie Higson is writing children's versions. In this comprehensive guide, Nigel Cawthorne uncovers Bond's allure. There are special sections on the main characters - Q, M, the Bond Girls and the women who first inspired them - the cars and the incomparable baddies. It will be the ideal gift for fans and aficionados alike and will be published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Dr No.
