I also used to have James Bond's biography at one time, which I found interesting.<br /><br />I read one of John Gardner's Bond books some years ago, but I have to say, I wasn't too impressed. It had a Scottish henchman called 'Caber', which just seemed ridiculous to me.<br /><br />Your last remark is obviously true, but the easier way of saying it is so that the publishers can try and make money. That's the bottom line, eh?Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-5755828542399109582013-07-31T16:43:19.753+01:002013-07-31T16:43:19.753+01:00Another fun piece!

K...Another fun piece!<br /><br />I am a huge James Bond fan.<br /><br />KINGSLEY AMIS also wrote a great book about bond called “The James Bond Dossier” where he concentrated on the novels and connected them so well. It also had p[ages of “guides.” This was at a time when there were many books out about Bond, but he really nailed his subject. He also showed where he felt Fleming missed a few beats in character development.<br /><br />In Colonel Sun Amis, in many ways, tries to “correct” some of those faults, mostly in the way he present “M” and his relationship with Bond.<br /><br />I don’t know why he didn’t return to the Bond series, I believe it was planned for him to do another book or two. I guess they didn’t sell.<br /><br />I also believe that the reason other authors have been given the assignment over the years is to keep their trademarks and copyrights all over the world.<br /><br />Barry Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03833042323353543770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-86984681221408519632013-07-30T22:11:44.773+01:002013-07-30T22:11:44.773+01:00Funnily enough, I don't remember that.

I think it's because it's such an everyday item that made it so disturbing. Machine guns and stilettos might do more damage, but we didn't have one of those in a drawer in the kitchen.Marionettehttp://www.marionette.org.uk/tammyprojectnoreply@blogger.com
