	James Bond!
		Most researchers agree that James Bond is a highly romanticised version of Fleming himself; the author was known for his jetsetting lifestyle and reputation as a womaniser.
		The James Bond franchise is currently the second all-time highest grossing film franchise in history, after Star Wars, and one of the longest running film series in history, spanning 20 official films, 2 unofficial films, 1 TV episode based on Casino Royale, and a cartoon television series spinoff.
		James Bond", became a catchphrase after it was first muttered (with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth) by Sean Connery in Dr. No.

		He later told the real James Bond that should a particularly foul species of bird be discovered, he would graciously lend his name to it.
		Bond writes "From Russia With Love" on Tatiana's picture and hears it on the radio while he and Sylvia are bunting.
		Bond did handle other equipment from time to time but the PPK has been the film's mainstay, though "Tomorrow Never Dies" and "The World Is Not Enough" featured the P99 in their ad campaigns and in the films as well, and it is now seemingly Bond's standard issue.

		Black contrasts this characterization with the cinematic Bond who he says is a "Batmanesque comic book fantasy" character who (in a "deus ex machina" fashion) unrealistically bails America out of trouble and eases Cold War tensions between the US and USSR (like in "Dr. No" or "You Only Live Twice").
		Fleming wrote all of the James Bond novels here, so it is interesting to see the environment which provided inspiration for the author.
		It is probably the most fitting to have a biography of the literary creator of James Bond as well as the man responsible for the movie version of the secret agent.

	007 NEWS: 'Bedside Companion' is Back!
		The book, originally published in 1984 attempted the monumental task of providing an overview of all aspects of the James Bond phenomenon—its history, Ian Fleming’s life, and analyses of all the books and films.
		Because Glidrose and the Fleming Estate had chosen him in 1996 to pen original Bond novels, Benson did not want to be placed in a position to criticize John Gardner or the current EON films.
		Perhaps new revelations regarding Ian Fleming’s life or the historical facts behind Bond history and the making of the motion pictures have been presented in the years since this book was published," Benson says.
