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. • This week we say goodbye to our old friend, “Blow-dry Bond.” This was the last in the series (or maybe it was the first?) of Jove paperbacks from the 1980s that featured cover art by noted illustrator Barnett Plotkin. It’s also a movie tie-in edition as seen in the top line, “See the new James Bond movie thriller, For Your Eyes Only.” The 1981 film starred then-007 Roger Moore in a half-baked attempt to make Bond grittier after the absolute silliness of Moonraker. Alas it was not to be, and the next two Bond movies, Octopussy and A View to a Kill were back to the same old silliness. (Swipe for a close-up!) • Next week: The Penguin version of FYEO, from the early 2000s. • Please follow me for more Bondian magic each week! #52weeksof007 #jamesbond #007 #foryoureyesonly #ianfleming #vintagepaperbacks #vintage #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #books #paperbacks @ianflemings007
