Nice but in a world where you can’t have everything and where PussyNoMore’s Fleming shelves can’t take any more strain, the choice has to be for the ‘Folio’ editions. Fay Dalton’s art just makes them a classier package.

In an unguarded moment, he did confirm to a fan that it would be a prequel to CR. Hopefully this will prove to be the case. It will give him the literary freedom to flesh out the character and how he came to be with the 00 section. We will see - P…

Over the fifty three years that PussyNoMore has been ploughing this furrow his opinion about Fleming’s best work constantly vacillates between MR, OHMSS & FRWL. His position regarding the weakest also used to involve three: DAF, TSWLM & TMW…

Revelator's assessment is correct but some pundits have opined that Amis had no hand in TMWTGG at all. This is also shown to be untrue.

PussyNoMore loves reading Revelator's posts. He is so spot on. Nobody knows more about the subject than him. Over the years, PussyNoMore has read all this stuff but hasn't retained it in the same way. Revelator is a real source. Back to DAF, Chand…

PussyNoMore subscribes to the view that all Fleming is good Fleming albeit some morsels are stronger than others. Apart from TMWTGG which he wrote when he was clearly very ill and therefore shouldn’t be judged by, his weakest suit was probably DAF …

Moonraker has arrived and it is stunning. Fay's visuals are beyond good. She captures the characters portrayed by Fleming so well and there is happily, no influence at all, stemming from the movies. Pure, unadulterated Fleming. PussyNoMore couldn…

PussyNoMore has just finished his signed first edition of Le Carre’s ‘Legacey Of Spies’ and declares it a complete delight. The story basically bookends ‘The Spy Who Came In From The Cold’ and grips like a vice. What’s more it was great to be back…

For Bond aficionados, these are an absolute must. If you are a collector, you just need them because they are going to be the next desirable. If you haven't started your collection because you are either too young, a little strapped for cash or ha…

Doubtless in 2018, PussyNoMore will be the first with his hand in his pocket but he has to say the three year hiatus between novels won’t be helping the franchise. Although not particularly a fan of the movies, PussyNoMore detects that stepping off…

PussyNoMore is happy to report that there is not a day goes by in his enormously gratifying life when he does not read. He started the habit at the age of eight and for the past fifty seven years the printed form has been one of his best friends. H…

PussyNoMore is a fan of Don Winslow, the author of 'Power Of The Dog' , 'The Cartel' and other great works. As such he was really looking forward to the release of 'The Force' , Winslow's latest - a much trumpeted NYPD crime opus about crooked cops…
