The Folio Society Diamonds Are Forever takes Ian Fleming’s most American Bond novel and gives it a binding to match: blocked cloth, a pictorial slipcase and seven colour illustrations by Fay Dalton. Folio calls it the sixth volume of its James Bond collection.
In the books
Diamonds Are Forever is Fleming’s fourth Bond novel. A diamond-smuggling ring stretches from Africa via London to America, and the story follows Bond across the Atlantic from Saratoga to Las Vegas. Dalton’s pictures give the settings the glamour and menace Folio describes in its own listing.
