Ian Fleming Publications to release new 007 Hardbacks later this year

Today, 28 May, marks the birthday of Ian Fleming. With the publication of Casino Royale and the following James Bond stories, Ian Fleming changed spy fiction forever.

To celebrate the day, Ian Fleming Publications have announced a new hardcover collection of all the 007 books.

All fourteen books will be released on October 3rd and each will feature bonus material, revealing top secret intel.

The covers will be designed by artist Michael Gillette who in 2008 designed 15 James Bond Book covers for Penguin Books to mark the 2008 Centenary of Ian Fleming's birth. Those covers are still available as limited edition art prints.

Publishing Director Simon Ward says, “I remember seeing Michael Gillette’s James Bond cover designs in a bookshop window in 2008. They were instant classics and became defining editions for a whole generation of fans. We’ve long wanted to partner with Michael again and we’re thrilled that day has finally come. We believe he’s put together something very special and can’t wait to share these all-new designs with the world.”

Speaking about this project, Michael shared the following:

“I’m very excited to see this set released. It was wonderful to make the 2008 set, and to get a second opportunity is a great honour. I hope that fans and new readers will sense the love and thought with which they were created.”
