Another new James Bond book based on the literary character created by Ian Fleming over 50 years ago is due on the horizon.
According to Publishing News, Picador�s Andrew Kidd and Jonathan Galassi of Farrar Straus & Giroux have bought a book by Simon Winder, Publishing Director of Penguin Press.
"The Man Who Saved Britain" is �a funny, serious� history of post-Colonial Britain as seen through the eyes of James Bond, �part memoir, part history�.
Simon Winder previously edited a collection of quotes from Fleming's novels for 2001's "The Name's Bond, James Bond". for Penguin Books.
"The Man Who Saved Britain" may turn out to be a similar collection of quotes from Fleming's work, with a look at his world through James Bond's eyes.
