Fleming seemed to never thank anyone! (Correct me if I'm wrong.) I remember in From Russia With Love he said:

'Not that it matters, but a great deal of the background to this story is accurate. SMERSH, a contractionof Smiert Spionam--Death to Spies--exists and remains remains today the most secret department of the Soviet government. ...


Seemed like he was thanking...himself! :)

I always noticed that Benson's acknowledgement page(s) get quite lenghty. Gardner usually only thanked one or two people at the most.

Cool. He must have met her when he went to Japan.

There are always a few familiar names in Benson's acknowledgements.
