Amazon Publishing announced today the launch of its James Bond store, featuring all-new editions of the 14 books in the series written by Ian Fleming.
Fleming created possibly the world's most famous secret agent, James Bond. Modern classics that transcend genre, Fleming's novels are taut, tense, and effortlessly stylish, and have made the series a touchstone for a generation of readers and writers.
These books now feature stunning new cover art, and have been restored to the original text from the editions published between 1953 and 1966. Fleming's travel and wartime experience lent authority to everything he wrote and may be attributed to the Bond novels selling more than one hundred million copies worldwide.
These new editions will publish on October 16th, 2012 in both trade paperback and Kindle formats, and are available to pre-order now. Here is a list of the titles, with their original UK publication dates:
Casino Royale, which introduced the character, and was finally adapted into film in 2006 in Daniel Craig's first appearance as Bond (1953); Live and Let Die, the film adaptation of which introduced Roger Moore as Bond (1954), Moonraker (1955), Diamonds are Forever (1956), From Russia, With Love (1957), Dr. No, the first of the books to be adapted for film, starring Sean Connery as Bond (1958), Goldfinger (1959), For Your Eyes Only (1960), Thunderball (1961), The Spy Who Loved Me (1962), On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the only film adaptation to star George Lazenby as Bond (1963), You Only Live Twice (1964), The Man with the Golden Gun (1965), and "Octopussy" and "The Living Daylights", which are actually two short stories, published posthumously together in one volume; the film adaptation of the latter featured Timothy Dalton in the first of his two appearances as Bond (1966).
