May 27, 2008, New York, NY—In a unique collaboration between two iconic brands, James Bond and Bentley Motors, a special, limited edition of the new James Bond book DEVIL MAY CARE will be published on the worldwide release date of May 28, 2008. Written by Sebastian Faulks at the invitation of Ian Fleming Publications to celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth, DEVIL MAY CARE is one of the most eagerly anticipated publications of the season.
Cars and James Bond have always had a strong association and, contrary to popular belief, Bond’s preference has historically been firmly with Bentley Motors. He owned three Bentleys in the course of the fourteen original novels written by Ian Fleming. It is fitting therefore that in DEVIL MAY CARE Bond is found once again in the driving seat of his favorite car.
To mark the reunion, the publishers of DEVIL MAY CARE approached Bentley to produce a luxury, limited edition of the centenary book. The result is a beautiful and striking edition which takes its inspiration from hardcovers of the original 1950s and 1960s Bond books combined with the stylish Bentley owner’s manuals and handbooks of the era. Inside the book is a specially designed model pewter Bentley, described in detail by Fleming in Thunderball.
Only 100 copies of the limited edition will be available in the U.S., retailing for $1500 each and for sale exclusively at www.doubleday.com/jamesbond.
