Originally conceived as a home for the series of articles “The B&MC Guide to Collecting Modern Books” following the demise of Book and Magazine Collector at the end of 2010, this blog also looks at classic novels of the last 100 years as well as other collectable books and items of interest to bibliophiles.

The Books of Bond
For a series
of books that are usually thought of as being unliterary, Ian Fleming's James
Bond novels contain a surprising number of references to other literary
sources. Bond himself, generally regarded as a man of action, is frequently
depicted reading. Find out more about these references - which range from Eric
Ambler to P.G. Wodehouse, taking in Hemingway, Lermontov, Pliny and de Sade
along the way - in The Books of Bond, available now as an
ebook from the Amazon Kindle store.
