David Leigh has been a fan of James Bond ever since he borrowed a paperback copy of Casino Royale from his dad's bookshelf at the age of 8. Although he never returned it, he may do one day. You can also find David at The James Bond Dossier, which he has run since 2002, as well as authoring a book of James Bond's drinks.
