007 James Bond Books
Before the creation of the top grossing series of Bond films, there was the first ever Bond Novel created by Ian Fleming- Casino Royale.
The novel was followed shortly by a television adaptation in 1954, which was warmly welcomed in the CBS Series Climax, by both baby boomer children as well as their parents.
The movie was first released in 1967, and re-made in 2006 with Daniel Craig starring as James Bond. While the film was an instant success among moviegoers, the print version seemed to have been lost in oblivion.
Fleming’s first Bond novel was introduced in the UK on April 13, 1953. The paperback form was introduced to UK readers two years later. It was the first time readers were given a glimpse of James Bond, an image that was based on a photograph of the American actor Richard Conte. Conte later gained fame in Ocean’s Eleven (1960) and The Godfather (1972).
Ian Fleming admitted that Casino Royale was based on real events that transpired during his career at the Naval Intelligence Division of the Admiralty.
During his post at the division, Fleming visited Estoril Casino where spies of warring states were present.
The failed assassination in Fleming’s novel was also claimed to be inspired by true events. Fleming wrote the book in 1952 two months before he married his pregnant fiancé, Ann Charteris. Some speculated that Fleming’s intention in writing Casino Royale was to give up his bachelorhood and enter married life.
The casino of Royale-les-Eaux city was also said to be inspired by Le Touquet-Paris-Plage or by Deauville, two of the places Flming frequented in his younger years.
The novel was also the first Bond series that was adapted into a comic strip and was originally published in the British Daily Express newspaper. Fleming’s spy icon has surpassed the test of time. Agent James Bond and the fantastically successful 007 movie series has become a hugely marketable iconic commodity.

Goldfinger [VHS] $2.23 Dry as ice, dripping with deadpan witticisms, only Sean Connery’s Bond would dare disparage the Beatles, that other 1964 phenomenon.

Goldfinger contains many of the most memorable scenes in the Bond series: gorgeous Shirley Eaton (as Jil… |

This time ou… |
