Kittys Reader Notes

"James Bond 007 of the British Secret Service, has become a phenomenon known throughout the world.

Yet, beyond his line of duty and his astonishing expertise in gambling, underwater swimming, super-charged Bentleys - and in attracting curiously-named girls like Pussy Galore and Kissy Suzuki - he has remained an enigma.

Kingsley Amis has taken the measure of 007 from first adventure to last. He has compiled his dossier with a ruthless precision and thoroughness that would be the envy of Dr No, Auric Goldfinger or even Ernst Stavro Blofeld."

The James Bond Dossier covers the events in the novels that were currently available in the 1960's with the following books being available as Pan Books at the time of publication:

Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, Diamonds are Forever, From Russia with Love, Dr No. Goldfinger, For Your Eyes Only, Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, You Only Live Twice & The Man with the Golden Gun.
