Pretty basic question. Does anyone know Bond's height according to Ian Fleming?
How tall is James Bond in Fleming's books?

He is said to be 6 feet tall (183 cm) in FRWL, chapter 6, in his KGB file :
"`First name: JAMES. Height: 183 centimetres; weight: 76 kilograms; slim build; eyes: blue; hair: black; scar down right cheek and on left shoulder; signs of plastic surgery on back of right hand (see Appendix ``A''); all-round athlete; expert pistol shot, boxer, knife-thrower; does not use disguises. Languages: French and German. Smokes heavily (N.B.: special cigarettes with three gold bands); vices: drink, but not to excess, and women. Not thought to accept bribes.'"
