Oh man, I like the sound of this! Especially as it includes Young Bond and Moneypenny and, presumably, Amis Gardner Benson?
Hopefully there will be a book connected to this exhibit. |

Although I do vastly prefer the US hardcover artwork for DoD. One of the extremely rare exceptions where the US cover is better than the UK.  But today is the thirteenth... |

Would nicely compliment the exhibit as is the case with the other Fleming exhibit and accompanying book next year. ~ Nobody Knows Me Like You Know Me ~ 'People Look Up. Things Fall Down.

Am I reading too much into the fact that this new website only refers to Young Bond 5 as "the fifth installment" instead of "the final installment"?
Probably. |

Probably.  Still won't keep Bond fans from discussing those "what if..." possibilities... It certainly keeps their options open more rather than immediately labeling it the final instalment. ~ Nobody Knows Me Like You Know Me ~ 'People Look Up. Things Fall Down.

Probably, however, I think with Hurricane Gold it's safe to assume that pre-Casino Royale will continue or at least Higson is keeping that avenue open for either himself or another writer. It's not so much "Will they" in my opinion, but "When will they". |

QUOTE(Qwerty @ 29 March 2008 - 01:01) Interesting mention made that the "Diamond Smugglers" and "Thrilling Cities" are also due for a new reprint in the centenary year. I'm still hoping that one day all of Ian's journalistic work and/or correspondence will be released in one volume. D A L T O N I T EFLEMING PURIST FOREVER TO MOURN THE END OF THE TIMOTHY DALTON ERA |
