    That's excellent Michael. I always thought these covers were very well done. Would love to add these to my Bond ephemera collection. I hope they are reasonably priced. Keep us posted and welcome to AJB.

    I agree...I really liked these designs...I'd love to have them...again, a sensible price needs to be applied.

    Edit - Just saw the QOS cover - very nice!

    This is good news. I wanted to upgrade my Moonraker paperback that's always in my bag with the UK version. We never received these covers over here. I also really like the You Only Live Twice artwork. That's the one I'm probably picking up.

    I see on your site that you are only going to release 35 of each print at first. I take it that a larger run will follow in the next year (2012)? The larger size is ideal. The Quantum of Solace artwork is pretty cool too. First time seeing that one.

    Michael can i just say that i think all of your work is fantastic and iv entered the Mi6 competition for diamonds are forever and id realy love to win! I hope the fact i live in northern ireland isnt a handicap in the competition.
    -Remarkable! But what does the club secretary have to say?
    - Oh nothing Mr.Bond! I own the club.

    Hi Michael
    Im a big fan of your artwork and am collecting all the new penguin book editions now. But I was wondering if the Quantum of Solace book with your cover will be released in Canada or the US?
    Thanks

    I recently purchased the two additional German prints (OHMSS and Thunderball) to complete my collection. Michael released them recently and they are fantastic.

    They all look great :)

    I never cared for these covers; they seemed too "mod" to me and seemed as much Laugh-in as James Bond. I'd love to see Richie Fahey's covers released as prints. Not only are they far more period appropriate but they capture the pulpy feel of the novels as well.

    I collect all Bond literary art and would like to see the Fahey covers available as well. However, I think these Gillette covers are very unique and very well done!
