Apprentice Alf has the answer.......
And I find the original Bond books (not the "posthumous" ) rather like the Mclean
works (Guns of Navarone etc..) - some still retain readability, some not.
Unlike, for example, Buchan (39 Steps..) Conan Doyle, Freeman (Thorndyke), etc..... who, I find, still don't date as much as Fleming.
