I have three hard-back copies in my collection, I don't have a Jonathan Cape. The one I most prize is the 1987 Folio Society edition I picked up in April, brand new, still in its shrink wrap. The Folio Society edition is illustrated, comes with a slipcover, no dust jacket, but with a foreward by Ken Follit who claims that Live and Let Die was his favorite Bond novel.
I believe that movie was made campy just to get it over with to avoid any racial controversy. In Fact, Sir Rog claimed the novel was racist.
Very interesting,i kinda figured that it had to be the sex thing cause not much violence in it,my how times have changed...
i think the thing with 50 shades of grey is woman are buying not men and porn in books has been around a long time ever read any of Harold Robbins stuff..
