The Folio Society has a number of beautifully illustrated reproductions of Ian Fleming’s Bond novels. Diamonds are Forever once more features the talents of Fay Dalton, who has provided images and a stunning slipcase.
Ian Fleming’s superspy returns in Diamonds Are Forever, the sixth volume of our James Bond collection, with Fay Dalton’s artwork oozing glamour and danger.
The job sounded a simple one. Take on the identity of a diamond smuggler and follow his path across to the States, to find out who is behind the millions of pounds leaking out the diamond mines of Sierra Leone. Bond isn’t worried – how can these American hoodlums compare to the diabolical minds of SMERSH? Besides which, with the tough but dazzling Tiffany Case as his contact, the mission promises to have its entertainments. But Bond has made a serious mistake in underestimating the Spangled Mob. With no backup and enemies on all sides, he must call on every skill he has if he’s to escape with his life. After all, diamonds might be forever, but death is just as permanent.
The presentation of the book, from the artwork on the case, to the printing on the spine, is lovely – just like the other books in the series.
Having read the James Bond books when I was a child I was eager to see the illustrations from Fay Dalton and how well they integrated into the story, and I wasn’t disappointed. The illustrations are amazing and really help to bring certain scenes to life, just like the other books in the series.
If you are a fan of James Bond books, this one is a must for your collection. I cant wait to see which book The Folio Society and Fay Dalton release next.
The Folio Society edition of Diamonds Are Forever by Ian Fleming, illustrated by Fay Dalton, is available exclusively from www.FolioSociety.com priced £36.95.
