To kick off promotion for the paperback, a solid gold copy of Hurricane Gold was revealed today at a big press event at the IWM Fleming exhibition. I don't have pics from the event (yet), but I do have pics of the gold book here.

Now on the CBn main page...

24-carat 'Hurricane Gold'

Special edition of Charlie Higson's novel to be unveiled at 'For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming and James Bond' exhibition'

They should send this book on a tour of schools. Kids would just freak for this. Very fun.

I just started reading Hurricane Gold last night. What's amazing is, when I put the book down before going to sleep, I looked at its gold colour and wondered if it would feasible to make an actual copy out of the prized metal (though I pictured it with thin, gold pages with the words impressed into them). Thanks to Zen's post, I now know that it's possible - and now all of you know the pointless things that cross my mind before I go to bed.

Despite a lot of efforts, the CBn team unfortunately couldn't manage to obtain a giveaway copy of this for a possible competition. Not even a review copy. Such a shame.

I'm sure some of us will snatch a few copies off ebay.

I am going to write a book now and title it, Thunderous Platinum.

Or maybe Stormy Diamond....

Can't imagine why.

Report on the day with some pics of Charlie and Theo Fennell at the event. (I'm also told some video is coming down the pike.)

I wonder if IFP ever plan on revealing what was on the note that Charlie wrote inside the book...

I was just thinking that Dark. I was very gobsmacked when I saw it at FYEO. I wonder where is will end up? Small change for IFP this book must be.

You want to see it? It's hidden on my GAMES page...somewhere.

Now that is just cool.
