    It is with the greatest delight that we present the Bentley Special Series edition of Devil May Care. The ultimate in luxury editions — this beautifully crafted book represents a unique alliance between two of the world’s most iconic brands: James Bond and Bentley Motors.

    Cars and James Bond have always had a special association — our favourite spy is suitably famed for his fast cars and even faster driving. Whether it’s in pursuit of an arch-nemesis or a beautiful woman, Bond is always at home behind the wheel of a luxury sports car. Contrary to popular belief however, Bond’s preference has historically been firmly with Bentley Motors.

Official Book Description (Penguin)
Bond is back with a license to thrill. Forty-three years ago, Ian Fleming wrote his last great 007 adventure. Now, in Devil May Care, the world’s most iconic spy returns in a Cold War story spanning the world’s exotic locations. By invitation of the Fleming estate to mark the centenary of his birth, acclaimed novelist Sebastian Faulks picks up where Fleming left off, writing a tour de force that will electrify every James Bond fan. A fitting tribute to the Bond tradition, Devil May Care stands on its own as a triumph of witty prose and plenty of double-0 action.

“One day, Bond, I will make as many heroin addicts in Britain as Britain made in China. You’ll become the third world country you deserve to be.” -- Villain Julius Gorner

Jag träffade den legendariska bokförläggaren Albert Bonnier, som fick ett signerat exemplar av mig och så bytte jag böcker med konstnären Ernst Billgren och författaren Björn Hellberg, säger Gunnar, som redan börjat planera för en uppföljare, som kanske kommer att gå mer på djupet än den första boken.

Sebastian Faulks the new writer for James Bond and Ian Fleming

Sebastian Faulks, född 1953 i Newbury, utbildade sig i Cambridge (vid Wellington College och Emmanuel College). Hanarbetade som journalist i många år men är numera författare på heltid. Han bor i London med sin hustru och har två söner och en dotter.
Sebastian Faulks fick sitt internationella genombrott med romanen Fågelsång, som kom på svenska 1999. Den följdes av ytterligare tre stora romaner, Charlotte Gray, På Green Dolphin Street och En människas spår. Charlotte Gray har också blivit en uppmärksammad film.
Namnet är Bond, James Bond ...
Bond är tillbaka. För 42 år sedan skrev Ian Fleming sin sista roman om agent 007, James Bond. Nu återvänder världens mest berömde fiktive spion i Devil may care, ett kalla kriget-äventyr vars handling för läsaren till exotiska platser över hela världen. Ian Flemings arvtagare har bett den högt ansedde romanförfattaren Sebastian Faulks att ta över där Flemings berättelse slutade. Resultatet är ett mästerverk som kommer att slå varje James Bond-fan med häpnad. Men Devil may care är mer än bara en hyllning till Bonds historia, det är en modern thriller som står på egna ben med sin snärtiga prosa och massvis av 007-action.


Mer än hundra miljoner Bondböcker har sålts i världen, och över hälften av jordens befolkning har sett minst en Bondfilm.


"I sitt hus på Jamaica brukade Ian Fleming skriva tusen ord på förmiddagen, sedan gå och snorkla, ta en cocktail, inta lunch på verandan, dyka lite mer, skriva tusen ord till på eftermiddagen, sedan blev det fler martinis och glamorösa kvinnor. I mitt hus i London följde jag exakt samma rutin... förutom cocktails, lunch och snorkling."

Sebastian Faulks
"Han har en förmåga att skriva övertygande oavsett vilken period eller genre han väljer... Sebastian har skrivit den perfekta boken för att fira Ians hundrade födelsedag."

Corinne Turner, vd för Ian Fleming Publications Limited

Biography Himself

Sebastian Faulks was born on 20 April 1953 and was educated at Wellington College and Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He was the first literary editor of The Independent and became deputy editor of the Independent on Sunday before leaving in 1991 to concentrate on writing. He has been a columnist for The Guardian (1992-8) and the Evening Standard (1997-9). He continues to contribute articles and reviews to a number of newspapers and magazines. He wrote and presented the Channel 4 Television series 'Churchill's Secret Army', screened in 1999. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

His first novel, A Trick of the Light, was published in 1984. His other novels include The Girl at the Lion d'Or (1989), set in France between the First and Second World Wars, and the bestselling Birdsong (1993), the story of a young Englishman called Stephen Wraysford and his harrowing experiences fighting in northern France during the First World War. The main narrative is intercut with scenes from the life of Stephen's granddaughter, Elizabeth, a young woman living in the 1970s who travels to France to discover more about her grandfather's life. The Fatal Englishman: Three Short Lives (1996) is a multiple biography of the lives of the artist Christopher Wood, airman Richard Hillary and spy Jeremy Wolfenden.

His fifth novel, Charlotte Gray (1998), completes the loose trilogy of books about France with an account of the adventures of a young Scottish woman who becomes involved with the French resistance during the Second World War. A film adaptation of the novel, starring Cate Blanchett, was first screened in 2002. His next novel, On Green Dolphin Street (2001), is a love story set against the backdrop of the Cold War. Human Traces, a book set in the 19th century and telling the tale of two friends who set up a pioneering asylum, was published in 2005. His latest novel is Engleby (2007). He has recently written Devil May Care, a new James Bond novel commissioned by the Ian Fleming estate to mark the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth in 2008.

Pistache(2006) is a collection of parodies and pastiches, mostly from BBC Radio 4's The Write Stuff.

Sebastian Faulks lives with his wife and three children in London. He was awarded the CBE in 2002.

THE DEVIL MAY CARE THEME TUNE

http://devilmaycare.saltheband.co.uk/  

In the course of the fourteen original Bond novels, Fleming wrote of Bond owning three Bentleys — the last of which was a Bentley R-type, which Bond lovingly referred to as ‘the locomotive’. These were Bond’s personal cars — the cars that Fleming thought most epitomized the discernment and style of his hero. In Devil May Care, written by Sebastian Faulks to celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth, it is fitting that Bond is found once again in the driving seat of his favorite motor — the Bentley.

To mark this momentous occasion, the publishers approached the famous Crewe firm to produce a Bentley edition of the book. This beautifully crafted luxury edition is the result. Bringing together the design and materials that epitomise the quality and craftsmanship of Bentley Motors, this is the perfect celebration of the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth. Only 300 copies of the Special Series edition will be produced worldwide, with only 100 available in the US, costing $1500 each.

A HISTORY OF BOND AND BENTLEY

In Casino Royale — we first hear of Bond’s fascination with Bentleys — he drives:

‘One of the last of the 4 ?-litre Bentleys with the supercharger by Amherst Villiers, he had bought it almost new in 1933 and had kept it in careful storage through the war. It was still serviced every year and, in London, a former Bentley mechanic, who worked in a garage near Bond’s Chelsea flat, tended it with jealous care. Bond drove it hard and well and with an almost sensual pleasure. It was a battleship-grey convertible coupé, which really did convert, and it was capable of touring at ninety with thirty miles an hour in reserve.’

Bond writes off his first Bentley in Moonraker — after which he takes delivery of a
Mark VI.

‘The 1953 Mark VI, had an open touring body. It was battleship grey like the old 4 ? litre that had gone to its grave in a Maidstone garage, and the dark blue leather upholstery gave a luxurious hiss as he climbed awkwardly in beside the test driver.’

The Mark VI however is quickly surpassed by Bond’s third and final Bentley — the Continental, which Fleming describes as “the most selfish car in England.” This is the car that Bond drives in Thunderball and subsequently in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

‘It was a MK (V) I Continental Bentley that some rich idiot had married to a telegraph pole on the Great West Road. Bond had bought the bits for £1,500 and Rolls had straightened the bend in the chassis and fitted new clockwork - the Mark VI engine with 9.5 compression.’

This is the car that most seems to have captured Fleming’s imagination — he researched the specification carefully, going into meticulous detail as to the car’s modifications. Writing to his friend Whitney Straight he states:

‘In connection with James Bond's new car, I would like it to be a cross between a Continental Bentley and a Ford Thunderbird - i.e. a smallish cockpit with a long bonnet line and a large boot behind.’

He is thought to have based the car on a custom modified Bentley Continental designed by French coachbuilder Henri Chapron (http://www.continental.org.uk/index.htm?http://www.continental.org.uk/bond.htm). Fleming goes on to describe the novel in greater detail in the novels:

‘Bond had gone to Mulliners with £3,000 which was half his total capital, and they had sawn off the old cramped sports saloon body and had fitted a trim, rather square convertible two-seater affair, power-operated, with only two large armed bucket seats in black leather. The rest of the blunt end was all knife-edged rather ugly, trunk…’

Bond clearly shares Fleming’s passion for this particular car, so much so that he names it ‘the locomotive’… It’s his personal car (the Aston Martin was the ‘pool car’ of the service) and as such his real automotive passion stays with the Bentley.

‘The car was painted in rough, not gloss, battleship grey and the upholstery was black morocco… She went like a bird and a bomb and Bond loved her more than all the women at present in his life rolled, if that were feasible, together.’

And so — in Devil May Care Sebastian Faulks once more treats us to Bond happily behind the wheel of ‘the locomotive’ — you’ll have to wait until May 28th to read more.

THE DESIGN STORY

The publishers approached Bentley soon after they signed Sebastian Faulks to write the new James Bond novel. We had, from the very beginning, wanted to produce a special edition — and Bentley was the first and immediate choice. And so they went to Crewe, to Bentley HQ, to meet their design team.

Dirk van Braekel is Chief Designer at Bentley. He studied at the Royal College of Art, one of the first schools to specialize in car design. He then joined Volkswagen unit Audi in 1984, and was drafted in to head up Bentley’s design team when the VW group acquired the company in 1998. There, he created the groundbreaking design for the Bentley Continental GT, launched in 2004 and one of the most successful sports coupes of our times.

Under Dirk’s guidance, the Bentley Design team have produced the phenomenal design for the Special Series edition.

“What struck me with the Bond story is that throughout the novels there has always been the connection to Bentley which unfortunately has never really surfaced in the films, so unless you are an absolute Bond fan, hardly anybody knows this. Now we were offered an opportunity to get that link a bit more in the open.”

Fresh recruit to the team, Kate Whatmore, was instrumental in conceiving the wonderful combination of design elements which reflect the craftsmanship of Bentley and the Bentley of Bond’s era.

“As well as the time in which the story is set, the treatment for the design that Kate came up with captures in a subtle way the values that Bentley brand stands for: the leatherwork and bright metal parts; even the layout and the typefaces find their inspiration from the older car handbooks together with some references to what confidential and personal documents looked like in those days.”

The end result speaks for itself.

THE SPECIAL SERIES EDITION

The Special Series edition takes it’s inspiration from the original hard-cover cloth casing used by Jonathan Cape publishers when they first published Fleming’s books back in the 1950s and 60s. This is combined with the slick and stylish designs of the 1950’s and 60’s Bentley owner’s manuals and handbooks. The result is a beautiful and striking edition which immediately captures the suave sophistication of the James Bond novels.

Bound in Bodoniana style cases finished in ‘Burnt Oak’ leather — sourced from the Pasubia tannery, which provides the hides for Bentley. The leather casing is then stitched in the iconic Bentley diamond pattern, as found on the radiator grille and the upholstery of modern Bentleys. The stitching is hand applied by the same craftsmen who produce the Vatican’s leather-bound volumes. The Bentley ‘Flying B’ — the radiator cap of the Bentleys of Bond’s time — adorns the front cover and spine.

The inside of the casing is trimmed in deep red ‘Hotspur’ leather — with the striking fluting used on 50’s and 60’s Bentley interior upholstery. Inside the front cover, each edition is individually identified by its unique edition number on a black lacquer machined steel engine plate (as found on every Bentley engine).

The book is printed by Graphicom in Italy — who have used a Munken Print Cream 150gsm paper stock — the highest grade of paper appropriate for such an edition. The typography reflects exactly the styling of the Bentley owner’s manuals.

Each book block is then die-cut with a car-shaped silhouette. Then the piéce-de-resistance — into this die-cut hole is inserted a cast and polished 1:43 scale model of the modified R-type which Fleming is thought to have had Bond driving — the Locomotive. The model has been crafted by hand by Bentley’s current design team, and reflects all the details Fleming includes in his novels. Compulsion Gallery have produced just 300 of these models — each one is individually numbered to match each Special Series book.

Finally — each book is protected by a custom-made plexiglass slip-case, which itself will be sealed in protective and numbered wrapping to ensure that this exclusive luxury edition reaches you in perfect condition.
