Last weekend saw the 45th anniversary of the release of MOONRAKER on June 29, 1979. This is a Bond film I love more and more with every passing year. It was Cubby at the peak of his powers and pure fun. As with The Spy Who Loved Me, an original novelization by screenwriter Christopher Wood and released in hardcover by Jonathan Cape. Below is my Cape copy of James Bond and Moonraker.
The book also saw a paperback release with tie-in movie cover art. Below is the U.S. edition from Jove. I've always thought the way Bond is illustrated here kind of matched the then-current Jove series.
I wish the 2 Wood novelisations would get kindle / eboom releases!
ReplyDeleteMeant ebook, not eboom.
DeleteOr even an official audiobook recording.
ReplyDeleteJames Bond Radio did one. That’s was good.
