Welcome to 52 Weeks of 007, the 2019 edition. This is a weekly look (every Wednesday) at vintage (and some contemporary) James Bond book covers. We’ll be looking at the original Bond books by creator Ian Fleming, mainly through paperback editions. Books will be presented in chronological order, one title at a time. • “Now a great motion picture,” exclaims the cover and yes, it was! Essentially a wrap-around cover (swipe for the back), this is the movie tie-in edition from Signet in 1964, the year of the film’s U.S. release. I saw it at a Saturday matinee at the Victoria Theatre in downtown Tamaqua, PA, at the ripe old age of 9, and was forever scarred (in a good way). While I’ve seen all the Bond movies, Sean Connery is definitely “my Bond,” and Goldfinger is the perfect 007 movie as far as I’m concerned. • Please follow me for more Bondian magic each week! #52weeksof007 #jamesbond #007 #goldfinger #ianfleming #vintagepaperbacks #vintage #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #books #paperbacks @ianflemings007

Welcome to 52 Weeks of 007, the 2019 edition. This is a weekly look (every Wednesday) at vintage (and some contemporary) James Bond book covers. We’ll be looking at the original Bond books by creator Ian Fleming, mainly through paperback editions. Books will be presented in chronological order, one title at a time. • Our Goldfinger cover coverage continues with this first version of Signet’s “James Bond Thriller” format, which slightly adapts the original cover art (golden girl, cars) from their first edition, once again with art by illustrator Barye Phillips. Goldfinger would be one of the most popular Fleming books in the United States (if not the whole world), undoubtedly due to the success of the film in 1964.
