As I recall my friend's mother was a member of the book-of-the-month club and Fleming was putoing out 1 a year in the late 60s. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.

I remember Flemings last, I think it was Colonel Son which was carried in Playboy. I even read the John Gardner ones in the 90s.

PS have you seen the Casino Royale with Barry Nelson and Peter Lorre. It's an old 50s american TV drama. Very simple, but interesting.

Colonel Sun

The school librarian thought I wanted Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (if you didn't know, he wrote that as well as Bond). I had a terrible time convincing her I wanted Bond. Back then they wouldn't let little kids read that stuff because of the 'sex' in it.

By the time I was tweleve I was reading all the horse books that tweleve year old girls read. I didn't get back into Bond until I was out of my parent's house.

I don't remember seeing that Casino Royale, but I like Peter Lorre alot.

Did you watch the Prisoner?
