== Len Deighton's new Bond e-book == 

 Len Deighton has published an e-book entitled James Bond: My Long and Eventful Search for His Father about Ian Fleming AND Kevin McClory. It's available through amazon dot co dot uk. BTW, Charles Helfenstein who wrote the "Making of OHMSS" book which you've ordered now has a new book out about The Living Daylights. Remember the macaw parrots used in The Pink Panther Strikes Again, For Your Eyes Only and The Living Daylights? Same parrot, once property of Diana Rigg. Helfenstein is a meticulous researcher and so his word will be the final one on this whole "who was considered first, Dalton or Brosnan?" tempest. -
