The bestselling Centenary Bond novel
Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulks is released in paperback today in the U.S. In what is a first for a Bond novel, consumers have a choice of getting the book as
mass market paperback or a larger
trade edition. The books have different cover art -- which means any self-respecting Bond obsessive will be getting both, of course!
Set in 1967,
Devil May Care finds James Bond in action in France, Iran, and Russia.
Damn you. :) When I read this I thought no way would I buy both versions. I am a fan boy but I have my limits. especially since DMC while better(much better in some cases)is a better book than the Fleming purist who started bashing it BEFORE it was released would have you believe it still was a something of a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteBut I underestimated myself. I now have 3 copies of a book that I originally judged to be no better than a B- effort. Maybe I should read it again.
Love the blog it's very informative on the literary bond.
Thank you, Count. Happy to contribute to your addiction. ;)
ReplyDeleteI actually own 15 copies of the book.
