DEIGHTON GOES TO TOWN

Our fellow C.O.B.R.A.S. site, The Deighton Dossier, has posted a really interesting look at an issue of Town magazine from 1965. Published during the filming of The Ipcress File, the article includes Deighton's review of Ian Fleming's novels and provides a window into both the filming of Ipcress and into Deighton's life as an emerging writer. The Bond-style cover was designed by Ray Hawkey, who designed book jackets for Deighton and Fleming. Read more at the Deighton Dossier.
