The Spy Command 
Wonderful book for the Fleming fan. Makes one appreciate the work he put into those ‘silly’ books.
Good pick, Griswold’s book is a must have for any fan of the original books. The second edition added drawings of the villains from Fleming’s descriptions, which can be a bit of a shock if you are expecting the character as seen on the big screen – compare his renditions of Blofeld!
Very interesting book , slightly marred by the absence of inspired editing .
