If all you know of James Bond, espionage fiction's most recognizable character, comes from the decadent films, you owe it to yourself to check out the source material, which features the pulpy spirit without the excess. Thomas & Mercer recently reissued all 14 of Fleming's Bond books, and the first, Casino Royale, remains a fun, fresh, and thrilling read 60 years later. (LJ 10/15/02)
