Kingsley Amis
The Book of Bond
New York: The Viking Press, 1965
First printing
Writing under the pseudonym of Lt.-Col. William ("Bill") Tanner, this is Kingsley Amis's affectionately tongue-in-cheek tribute to the world of Bond.
Offering apparently sincere advice on how to be your own Bond or possibly a 'Bond girl', he neatly satirizes the whole attitude of the books, which he successfully brought to life himself, in his novel Colonel Sun, the first Bond book not written by Ian Fleming.
With great 60s graphics, this is a good book to keep near your cocktail cabinet.
