Bond reissue with cool new covers!

[sparkchaser]

May 29 Penguin Books is reissuing the James Bond series with some very nice covers.

The Penguin Blog: Covering Bond

...Michael Gillette was commissioned to paint fourteen iconic covers. The books were numbered on their spines so it's not hard to read them in order (if you're traditionally minded). The blurbs, adapted from earlier Penguin editions, were themed around the new unified concept. Fourteen book biographies, one for each back flap, replaced the usual author biography (which is found on page one). A short extract from each book graces the back cover. They were made into demi-format hardbacks to be not so much collectible as bloody irresistible.

You'll have to navigate this flash maze to find them: The new James Bond novel, Devil May Care - Penguin Books

Stupid 5 images per post rule...

Can't you make that rule go away with you being a mod and everything?

And they all have women on them or so it seems, the covers I mean.

Bond women!

I know that...I just noticed that there's one on each book.

I saw them in person today. Lovely. It's just a shame the contents are still poor.

Do you recall the price?

 

[Stewart]

£14.99, in proper money.

So that's like $27 in the devalued American dollar.
