A FINE COLLECTION OF THE ORIGINAL JAMES BOND NOVELS PUBLISHED AND NOW PRESENTED IN A HANDSOME BINDING.<br> Few fictional characters have captured the public's attention to the same degree as Ian Fleming's James Bond. He has inspired over six decades of screen adaptations and has been portrayed by eight actors between 1954 and 2021. And he is still going strong. In other media the famous "007" has been adapted for radio comic strips and even video games. The popular Broccoli series of James Bond motion pictures is the longest continually running film series ever produced and has made Bond a multibillion dollar franchise.<br> This is a nice opportunity to acquire an attractive vintage group of the core Ian Fleming Bond titles.
