To mark the 60th anniversary of the passing of James Bond's creator, today Ian Fleming publications revealed the new set of cover designs produced by artist Michael Gillette.
The 'prestige' hardbacks will be released in the UK on October 3rd, 2024.
Fans have noticed a few inconsistencies with the new covers:
- MOONRAKER the novel does not involve the moon (a rocket launch from Britain against London)
- DR NO should be DOCTOR NO (the shortened version is the film title)
- The cover of DR NO shows a metal hand, whereas in the book he had pincers. It also shows a spider which was an invention of the film treatment - the novel used a centipede
- FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE has lost the comma after RUSSIA (this is the film version of the title)
- OCTOPUSSY should be OCTOPUSSY & THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS as previously published
