That's one sweet poster. I wonder how big these are? Would look killer on my library wall.

Love the new look of the Penguin 007 logo.

That's awesome! :tup:

I preferred the original logo but I realize the new one looks better on Fleming novels since it's retro looking.

I still love the book cover. The poster is nice, but doesn't exactly make me go wow. Bond is Back is a little.... over used.

I wonder how do Bond fans get their hands on one, call the publishing company, mabe there will be mini ones given to book stores like Borders to give out. I would sure like to have one and frame it in one of those cheap wallgreen or rite aid frames and hang it in my room. It doo look nice the poster.

It looks like you live in the United States therefore you're not going to find this specific poster in any bookstore. The poster features the UK cover art thus making it a UK exclusive.

Absolutely love this. The falling petals work perfectly with that cover art.

I'd really like this cover artwork as a desktop wallpaper... Has anyone seen such a thing downloadable anywhere?

The Devil May Care myspace page has some wallpapers. Not exactly like this poster, but still using the UK artwork.

That's all they need in the tagline though. Gets the point across simply and shortly.

You people over in the UK have a way better cover art for the hardcover. Wish we could of had the same cover art as your's. I wonder why the publishing company here didn't us the same one. From the past the only cover arts I ever like was the 60s's Signet ones, 80s Berkley ones(Penguin and G.P. Putnam's Son's paperback section) Jove and the Raymond Benson area hardcover art.

Well here goes the U.S. hardcover art, it's only average nothing special about it at all. I only give it a C grade.

To each his own, I suppose...

Personally, I vastly prefer the US cover for DMC.

As do I. But both books are going to look amazing in the flesh.

I think I like the US cover a bit more as well, the retro aspect pulls it over the line. That said, the UK cover features a striking image.

I like the unused tagline on the concept art.

"Faulks takes on 007. 007 takes on the rest."

I'm loving that cover more and more. The photos from the ad shoot are great.

Me too, interesting 3D views of it. The cover of "Poppy" has really grown on me. Also nice to see "Devil May Care" is in a raised gold font.

We will behold the true beauty of this cover when it's in our hands!

The cover artwork took two months to complete?... Not a very well spent two months, IMO...
