All pictures are from the books of my own collection. The three others will soon be fore sale here on the blog or on Ebay (I will get back to that later)īelow you can see some of my Casino Royale book collection. As you can see on the above photo I have four different copies of the Jonathan Cape 'queen of spades edition' and the earliest of them is from 1957 and that is an new edition to my collection. I have many different editions of Casino Royale including all Swedish editions. So when the voting was done by the readers CASINO ROYALE stood as a clear winner and I started reading the book yesterday. At that time I also read them in Swedish loosing some of the prose of Fleming that I was not mature for. I must confess and say that must of them have I only read once and that was more then 20 years ago.
I had decided to read the James Bond novels by Fleming all over again. I must be honest and say that I longed to read a book about the making about the James Bond films but you wanted something else. A book I have written a blog post about here. A few days back I gave the Facebook readers of The Ian Fleming Foundation the chance to decide what I was supposed to read after I had finished reading THE LIFE OF IAN FLEMING.
