The Return of 007
29 May 2008
No, this post isn’t about the new James Bond book by Sebastian Faulks. It’s about the reissue of Ian Flemming’s originals to mark the 100th anniversary of his birthday and, in particular, it’s about their wonderful cover art. Illustrator Michael Gillette was hired to produce 14 paintings for each of the 14 covers. The results make for a stunning collection that I would love to have in my bookshelf. I’ve never actually read a Bond book—maybe now is the time to start.
The only aspect I don't like is the 007/Penguin mark, but that's a minor concern.
