Because it was an Ian Fleming short story, we never got a novelization of The Living Daylights. But this German paperback shows us what one might have looked like. This is a reprint of Ian Fleming's Octopussy that used Daylights poster art and sports the title Der Hauch des Todes (The Breath of Death), which is what the movie was titled in Germany.
I recently sold most of Bond foreign editions. But I held this one back to remember The Most Dangerous Bond...Ever.
Check out Birth Movies Death for an excellent overview of The Living Daylights at 30.
The Living Daylights is a great Bond film and a great short story, my favourite of Fleming's.
