It was the first of fourteen James Bond books which have gone on to sell over 60 million copies worldwide and be translated into 20 languages. Also, an old Goodreads friend who is no longer with us did this very project several years ago, and I'll enjoy reading her reviews as I go along. Good+ 2000 Penguin box set, very heavy collection with terrific stylish cover artwork and original box design.

Fleming wrote twelve novels and two collections of short stories in the series and published annually. Those who Mr Big cannot possess, he crushes – like his beautiful prisoner, Solitaire, and her would-be saviours James Bond and Agency man, Felix Leiter.Undoubtedly one of the very last pieces of significant Fleming manuscript material outside the Lilly Library's Fleming collection. Note that these books are the newer, updated editions, where some of the racially offensive words have been replaced or removed. Some reading creases to most book spines, surface sticker wear and tear to an area at top front of outer box, light corner rubbing wear to box, well-preserved and bright, unmarked. I loved the first part, in which you find out what the Russians are up to, about the individual players - their history and motivation. In addition to the 12 full-length novels, this collection also includes two books of short stories (For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy and the Living Daylights).

Matching Penguin Modern Classics editions,silver livery,photographic covers, all have been read,creasing to spine,page edges and contents clean. Unaware of the danger, James Bond is about to marryTeresa di Vicenzo, the daughter of a Corsican Mafioso. I did rather enjoy 5 shots of Bond, I think my favourite was Quantum of Solace, even tho it didn't really feature Bond, it was him being told a story. The novel is the sixth in the James Bond series, and was the first to be turned into a film, starring Sean Connery in 1962.
