BOND BOOK LAUNCH

James Bond has always been strong on style and the new 007 novel by William Boyd got a very special photo launch today. In an event that included a host of lovely flight attendants, a fleet of vintage Jensen sport cars, and first editions housed in clear briefcases, copies of Solo set out from the Dorchester to points around the globe. The book will be released to us civilians on Thursday (UK) and on Oct 8th (US). I pre-ordered the UK edition and can't wait to dive into Boyd's adventure. Sadly, my copy will not be delivered by one of the attendants below. More info and images at the Ian Fleming site here. 

Get ready to meet MIKI ZERO, Japanese fashion model and spy! The creator of Spy Vibe has written a novel called Elevator Girl, inspired by his love of Ian Fleming and based on newly declassified intel from the Cold War. More info at Whiton's website here.
