FishbowlNY reports that James Bond is making another appearance in the publishing world. DEVIL MAY CARE, the new Bond novel, will be the 23rd Bond book to be released since his original creator, Ian Fleming, died 44 years ago.
With an initial print run of 250,000 in the U.S. and 100,000 in the U.K., it seems the publisher has high hopes for the book, especially since the previous Bond novel, THE MAN WITH THE RED TATTOO, only sold 13,000 in the U.S.
The report has a link to the Wall Street Journal article about the book's release, which I could have posted instead of Fishbowl's summary. But then you wouldn't get to see the video of the opening chase scene from Casino Royale. Kind of gives new meaning to the term "height of improbability," but that's Bond for you.
