Diamonds has yet to appear. When it does I will post it here.

This series is tip top; bird on the FRWL cover looks a bit sulky, but otherwise...pure pulp fiction. Very well thought through

[zencat]

I agree, Jim. I love these covers. Too bad they don't have Diamond up yet--I've seen it and it's the best of the three.

[Blue Eyes]

Damn their quite nice!

[Peter]

I really like how they have a "loose" element on each of the covers, eg, the birds on Dr. No, chips on Casino Royale, typing keys on FRWL. So why none on MR? It looks a little bare without it. Also, MR looks pretty similar to DN.

Excellent covers again. I especially like the lingerie on the woman on the FRWL cover. She seems very sexiful.

[Simon]

Splendid covers - while I don't normally go in for collecting different covers of different languages of all the books, these are inspiring me to think otherwise.

They've perfectly captured the mood and time of the stories.

Well done to whoever is the artist.

[PaulZ108]

They're every bit as good as the other three and I'll pre-order them as soon as I've got the money.

I can't wait to have the whole collection.

[rafterman]

very nice stuff!

[Mister Asterix]

More excellent covers. I love this series of covers and I can't wait to have the entire series on my shelf.

They look marvellous, absolutely fantastic! I can't help but wonder who the artist behind this brilliant pulp fiction turn to the James Bond novel art is. Does anyone have any idea who is the artists responsible for these superb images? It would be nice to know.

[rafterman]

the back covers list those responsible for the cover designs...

That girl on the cover of From Russia With Love looks quite good.

I like the Moonraker cover - it looks like something out of the 1950s - very Cold Warish. The girl looks quite nice too - especially the ripped sleeve and the slight look of alarm. Are there any other new covers like this for the other Bond novels?

[PaulZ108]

Any sign of the Diamonds Are Forever cover? I just checked BN and Amazon and didn't see it.

[zencat]

Not yet.

Well, I had to wait until I actually got the books in the mail (all 3 came today), but at long last here's the cover art for DAF. It was worth the wait.

[Red Widow Dawn]

Tiffany's cleavage is a nice addition.

Can't say the same for Wint and Kidd. :eek:

[rafterman]

not bad

[Mister Asterix]

Wow.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

Ditto.:eek:

[Blue Eyes]

There is some absolutely fantastic artwork there!

Are these coming out in hardback at all?

The artist is Richie Fahey - see more examples of his superb work at:

Great website. Thanks for that.

And I don't think there are any plans to release these in hardcover, Blue Eyes. I would love it if they did.

Does anyone know when the next 3 are due? Jordan?

[Blue Eyes]

No hardcover? Rediculous.

[zencat]

Would have been nice, but I'm not complaing as I think Gildrose really went the extra mile with this books. They're very well done.

[Xenobia]

WOW!

This is the first time I decided to check out the cover art, but it looks fantastic! I can not wait to see what they do with the later novels!

And you are right...these covers are perfect for the era that the novels were first published.

Thanks for sharing them Zencat.

Awesome, the FRWL is probably my favorite, but the DAF one is terrific too.
