When Glidrose changed their name to "Ian Fleming Publications" that pretty spelled out their business plan. Hey, it

Interesting move they have made here, indeed changing their name to IFP gives the public the impression that they will only be Bond orientated. But is the plan only to reprint the 007 novels only? Gives them a pretty limited source of income. Maybe we'll see a big ad campaign for the books in stores?

Err, that's what they've always done , isn't it?

I'm thinking that they'll only concentrate on Fleming's Bond and not Amis, Gardner, and Benson.

Or maybe, at last we will get to see more Fleming's writing -- "The Diamond Smugglers" his non-fiction thriller, or a collection of his writing for newspapers are two titles that spring to mind as deserving a reprint.

There is a nice new edition of CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG coming in...October I think.

They should print Thrilling Cities too. That looks like an interesting book, haven't read it myself. I would really like to see reprints of Gardner's books. I can't bare to think they should not continue the Bond series.

It's also being released, or re-released on DVD in October.

Just in time for its 35th anniversary, no doubt.
