@GayPoon as you can see; no sign of the man himself on the cover.

Looking at his filmography the only movie I've even heard of besides Bond is Kentucky Fried Movie. What a career

I think Moore is underrated. Not the best, mind you, but he was better than he gets credit for.

As someone who never read a single Bond novel (just watched the movies), are they worth it? do they have more cool spyshit on it? if so then where too begin,a and what is the best too worst?

white extinction is long overdue

Put it this way. In the movies Bond drives this:

In the books he drives this:

The 2 closest movies to the books are Casino Royale and From Russia With Love. The closest book to the movies is Moonraker, although it has nothing to do with the actual movie Moonraker, as it has gadgets and car chases and secret weapons. You Only Live Twice is totally different to the movie as it's set after Bond's wife has died and he's a hopeless alcoholic trying to save his career.

Good easy reading for a plane ride or something. With some spectacular old school racism.

I've heard they're pretty standard pulp fiction for the time and sort of mediocre. I imagine it's like picking up your average Lee Child novel.

By far my favorite covers, they just have this intrigue to them.

CONNERY ASIDE, DALTON WAS PROLLY THE BEST TOO THE CHARACTER. ITโ€™S JUST UNFORTUNATE THAT HE ONLY HAD ONE GOOD FILM (LIVING DAYLIGHTS) AND AN OUT OF CHARACTER HYPER VIOLENT DIE HARD SEQUEL (LICENSE TOO KILL). Jewish lives matter

Licence to Kill was the best Bond film. Best theme song too.
