Editor's Notes
 
Casino Royale was first published exactly 70 years ago, on 13 April 1953. To celebrate this important anniversary, the Folio Society is releasing the ultimate collector’s edition – bound in blocked leather and limited to just 750 copies, each numbered by hand and signed by the artist Fay Dalton. Award-winning novelist Kim Sherwood, chosen by Ian Fleming Publications to expand the world of James Bond with three new novels, has contributed a fascinating introduction exclusive to this Folio limited edition.

Ian Lancaster Fleming was born in London in 1908. He was educated at Eton College and abroad in Germany and Austria. After working as a stockbroker he became the assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence in the Admiralty during the Second World War. In 1952 he wrote Casino Royale, the first of 14 James Bond titles, of which 30 million copies were sold during his lifetime. He was married to Ann Rothermere and together they had one son, Caspar. Fleming died in 1964.

Following her award-winning debut novel, Testament, Kim Sherwood has published Double or Nothing, the first in a trilogy of ‘Double O‘ novels expanding the James Bond universe. It received widespread critical acclaim. A lecturer in creative writing at the University of Edinburgh, her next book, A Wild and True Relation, will be published in 2023.
