##The man and the legend.
Written as an autobiography, **<a href="https://openlibrary.org/works/OL2947484W" target="_blank">James Bond: The Authorised Biography of 007</a>**(1973), describe <a href="https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL1711165A" target="_blank">John Pearson</a> experiences trying to track down the real James Bond and later the reaccount of the agent's life. 
Years before, Pearson wrote the biography **<a href="https://openlibrary.org/works/OL2947501W" target="_blank">The Life of Ian Fleming</a>**(1966). It's his knowledge of Fleming that makes this unique biography one of the most Fleming-esque follow-up books you will find.

"Until this moment I had taken it for granted that I knew him, as one does with any familiar character in what one thought was fiction."
