There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before. ~Robert Lynd (1879 – 1949)

The 3rd version and first EON Production version of Casino Royale was released on November 17, 2006. Daniel Craig took over the role of Bond becoming 6th EON James Bond. The film was the start of a pocket universe of Bond separate from the Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan films before it. Judi Dench was the only one who crossed over both Bond universes playing M in both. The Craig Bond universe restarted the tradition of using Fleming book titles (they had been using unique titles since The Living Daylights) at least for the first two movies, took on a more serious and realistic tone, the movies were more connected and less stand alone, and had the same actor play Felix Leiter (in the previous franchise films Felix was played by a different actor each time, with only one actor playing it twice). Casino Royale was the first Bond book Ian Fleming wrote. The movie serves as a Bond origin story. The movie stayed close to the main plot points of the book including the torture scene and the down ending. The movie set a world record for most barrel rolls assisted by a cannon. The film became the highest grossing Bond film (until Skyfall) and is often considered by many fans as the best Bond film in the franchise. "Casino Royale", Bond Movie Event)

It’s Fine Press Friday! 

Today we present The Innocent Voyage by British writer Richard Hughes (1900-1976), illustrated by American artist Lynd Ward (1905-1985) and published in New York by The Limited Editions Club, in 1944 in an edition of 1500 copies signed by the artist. The novel was first published in the U.S. by Harper & Brothers in 1929, and in Britain by Chatto and Windus as A High Wind in Jamaica in the same year.    The novel was listed as one of the Modern Library’s 100 Best Novels. It has been adapted into film (1965) and two radio adaptations (1950 and 2000), and it is credited for influencing books such as Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Lynd Ward created more than twenty color lithographs for this edition. Each lithograph consists of four layers of color, pink, yellow, blue, and dark blue in combination they create the great diversity of value and color that we see. Combining the layers so successfully takes the hand of a skilled artist. Lynd Ward drew his illustrations directly on the plates, which were then printed by George C. Miller (1894-1965) in New York. 

This printing was published as a trade edition by Heritage Press, another imprint of George Macy, founder of The Limited Editions Club, in 1944. The trade edition does not contain original lithographs and the fine paper and binding that this edition does. 

Robert L. Dothard designed this book. The text is composed in Linotype Baskerville and was printed at the shop of E. L. Hildreth in Vermont. This edition is bound in a dyed sheepskin and stamped with a decorative illustration in gold foil. The paper is all-rag and was made by the Worthy Paper Company. Each copy is housed in a solander case wrapped in white linen and a lithograph by Lynd Ward. Our copy is a gift of Loryn Romadka to Special Collections, UWM Libraries, from the collection of Austin Fredric Lutter.

I haven't strangled anyone yet, but I'm headed for the supermarket and if they play the Chipmunk's Christmas Carols all bets are off.

any and all of the bunnies of mona awad's bunny - pretentious and beautiful budding literary icons , diehard devotees of "the aesthetic" ( or part of a cult most likely )
