Ian Fleming Publications 1071713 205084698 2008-04-12T07:04:34Z K1Bond007 18048 /* The Moneypenny Diaries */ July -> May {{Unreferenced|date=April 2007}} '''Ian Fleming Publications''' is the production company formerly known as both '''Glidrose Productions''' Limited and '''Glidrose Publications''' Limited, named after its founders [[John Gliddon]] and [[Norman Rose]]. In 1952, author [[Ian Fleming]] bought it after completing his first [[James Bond]] [[James Bond (novels)|novel]], ''[[Casino Royale (novel)|Casino Royale]]''; he assigned most of his rights in ''Casino Royale'', and the works which followed it to Glidrose. In 1956, Ian Fleming hired literary agent [[Peter Janson-Smith]] to handle the foreign translation rights in the James Bond novels. He was the literary consultant and chairman of Ian Fleming Publications until [[2001]]. Today, Ian Fleming Publications administers all of Ian Fleming's literary oeuvre and is owned by Fleming's family. ==Publication history== After Fleming's death, in 1964, Glidrose Productions Ltd planned a continuation series of James Bond books, to be written by a rotating series of authors, under the [[pseudonym]] "[[Robert Markham]]". In 1968, the first continuation novel published was ''[[Colonel Sun]]'', by [[Kingsley Amis]], afterwards the Robert Markham book series was cancelled. A few years later, Glidrose published ''[[James Bond: The Authorised Biography of 007]]'' by [[John Pearson (author)|John Pearson]] and considered having Pearson write a continuation series of Bond novels, but no further books resulted. In 1977 and again in 1979, Glidrose authorized [[Christopher Wood (writer)|Christopher Wood]] to write novelisations of his scripts for the Bond films ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me (film)|The Spy Who Loved Me]]'' and ''[[Moonraker (film)|Moonraker]]'' since the filmed stories deviated drastically from the original Fleming novels of the same titles (indeed, Fleming had instructed Glidrose to only sell the movie rights to the title of ''The Spy Who Loved Me'', rendering the film by necessity an original story). In 1981, the James Bond book series was revived, with new novels written by [[John Gardner (thriller writer)|John Gardner]]. In 1996, John Gardner retired from writing Bond books, and [[Raymond Benson]] quickly replaced him. Benson is the first American to write James Bond novels, a fact that was initially controversial. It was during Benson's tenure that the company changed names from Glidrose Publications Ltd to Ian Fleming Publications; the publisher's new name appeared first in ''[[High Time to Kill]]'', (1999). In turn, Benson retired from writing Bond books in 2002. Since then Ian Fleming Publications has started a new series of Bond books, however, this time based on a young teenage James Bond in the 1930s. The series, written by [[Charlie Higson]], is planned out for 5 novels and has been dubbed ''[[Young Bond]]''. In 2005, Ian Fleming Publications launched another series of Bond-related books entitled ''[[The Moneypenny Diaries]]'' by [[Samantha Weinberg]] under the pseudonym "Kate Westbrook". IFP initially denied any connection with the books, but this was later revealed to be part of a [[publicity stunt]] for the release of the first book, ''Guardian Angel''. Confirming reports that a new adult Bond novel would likely be published in 2008 as a one-off by an unknown author to commemorate what would have been Ian Fleming's 100th birthday, Ian Fleming Publications announced on July 11, 2007 that the popular novelist [[Sebastian Faulks]] had written the rumored book, to be entitled [[Devil May Care (novel)|Devil May Care]]. ==James Bond books== ===by [[Ian Fleming]]=== #''[[Casino Royale (novel)|Casino Royale]]'' (1953) — first American paperback title: ''You Asked For It'' #''[[Live and Let Die (novel)|Live and Let Die]]'' (1954) #''[[Moonraker (novel)|Moonraker]]'' (1955) — first American paperback title: ''Too Hot to Handle'' #''[[Diamonds Are Forever (novel)|Diamonds Are Forever]]'' (1956) #''[[From Russia with Love (novel)|From Russia with Love]]'' (1957) #''[[Dr. No (novel)|Dr. No]]'' (1958) #''[[Goldfinger (novel)|Goldfinger]]'' (1959) #''[[Thunderball (novel)|Thunderball]]'' (1961) — "based on a screen treatment by [[Kevin McClory]], [[Jack Whittingham]] and Ian Fleming" #''[[The Spy Who Loved Me (novel)|The Spy Who Loved Me]]'' (1962) #''[[On Her Majesty's Secret Service (novel)|On Her Majesty's Secret Service]]'' (1963) #''[[You Only Live Twice (novel)|You Only Live Twice]]'' (1964) #''[[The Man with the Golden Gun (novel)|The Man with the Golden Gun]]'' (1965) ;Short stories: {|class="wikitable" |- |colspan=3 | '''''[[For Your Eyes Only]]''''' (1960) |- !Short story !Published date !Publication |- |"[[For Your Eyes Only#"For Your Eyes Only"|For Your Eyes Only]]" || 1960 || |- |"[[For Your Eyes Only#"From A View to a Kill"|From a View to a Kill]]" || 1960 || |- |"[[For Your Eyes Only#"Quantum of Solace"|Quantum of Solace]]" || May 1959 || ''[[Cosmopolitan (magazine)|Cosmopolitan]]'' |- |"[[For Your Eyes Only#"Risico"|Risico]]" || 1960 || |- |"[[For Your Eyes Only#"The Hildebrand Rarity"|The Hildebrand Rarity]]" || March 1960 || ''[[Playboy]]'' |- |colspan=3 | '''''[[Octopussy and The Living Daylights]]''''' (1966) |- !Short story !Published date !Publication |- |"[[Octopussy and The Living Daylights#"Octopussy"|Octopussy]]" || March/April 1966 || ''[[Playboy]]'' |- |"[[Octopussy and The Living Daylights#"The Living Daylights"|The Living Daylights]]" || June 1962 || [[Argosy Magazine]] |- |"[[Octopussy and The Living Daylights#"The Property of a Lady"|The Property of a Lady]]" || 1963 || ''[[The Ivory Hammer]]'' |- |"[[Octopussy and The Living Daylights#"007 in New York"|007 in New York]]" || 1963 || ''[[Thrilling Cities]]'' |} ===by [[Kingsley Amis]] (as "[[Robert Markham]]")=== #''[[Colonel Sun]]'' (1968) — last book copyrighted under the Glidrose Productions name ===by [[John Gardner (thriller writer)|John Gardner]]=== #''[[Licence Renewed]]'' (1981) — American title: ''License Renewed'' #''[[For Special Services]]'' (1982) #''[[Icebreaker (novel)|Icebreaker]]'' (1983) #''[[Role of Honour]]'' (1984) — American title: ''Role of Honor'' #''[[Nobody Lives For Ever]]'' (1986) — American title: ''Nobody Lives Forever'' #''[[No Deals, Mr. Bond]]'' (1987) #''[[Scorpius (novel)|Scorpius]]'' (1988) #''[[Win, Lose or Die]]'' (1989) #''[[Brokenclaw]]'' (1990) #''[[The Man from Barbarossa]]'' (1991) #''[[Death is Forever]]'' (1992) #''[[Never Send Flowers]]'' (1993) #''[[SeaFire]]'' (1994) #''[[COLD (novel)|COLD]]'' (1996) — American title: ''Cold Fall'' ===by [[Raymond Benson]]=== #''[[Zero Minus Ten]]'' (1997) #''[[The Facts of Death]]'' (1998) - last Bond novel copyrighted under the Glidrose Publications name #''[[High Time to Kill]]'' (1999) - first Bond novel copyrighted by Ian Fleming Publications #''[[Doubleshot]]'' (2000) #''[[Never Dream of Dying]]'' (2001) #''[[The Man with the Red Tattoo]]'' (2002) ;Short stories: {|class="wikitable" |- |colspan=3 | '''[[James Bond uncollected short stories]]''' by Raymond Benson |- !Short story !Published date !Publication |- |"[[James Bond uncollected short stories#"Blast from the Past"|Blast from the Past]]" || January 1997 || ''[[Playboy]]'' |- |"[[James Bond uncollected short stories#"Midsummer Night's Doom"|Midsummer Night's Doom]]" || January 1999 || ''Playboy'' |- |"[[James Bond uncollected short stories#"Live at Five"|Live at Five]]" || November 1999 || ''[[TV Guide]]'' |} ===by [[Charlie Higson]]=== Higson's novels, part of a series called ''[[Young Bond]]'', are [[prequel]]s to Fleming's series. #''[[SilverFin]]'' - March 2005 #''[[Blood Fever]]'' - January 2006 #''[[Double or Die]]'' - January 2007 #''[[Hurricane Gold]]'' - September 2007 #''[[By Royal Command]]'' - September 2008 ===by [[Sebastian Faulks]]=== [[Sebastian Faulks]]'s novel is a one-off adult Bond novel that follows ''The Man with the Golden Gun'' in the 1960s.
