A View to a Kill [Paperback]

Ian Fleming (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2001

Stories in the Travelman Short Stories series take the reader to places of mystery, fantasy, horror, romance, and corners of the universe yet unexplored. In turn, readers take them on the bus or subway, slip them into briefcases and lunchboxes, and send them from Jersey to Juneau.

Each classic or original short story is printed on one sheet of paper and folded like a map. This makes it simple to read while commuting, convenient to carry when not, and easy to give or send to a friend. A paper envelope is provided for mailing or gift-giving, and both are packaged in a clear plastic envelope for display. The cost is not much more than a greeting card.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Story, Interesting Format, June 8, 2001

This review is from: A View to a Kill (Paperback)

The short story From a View to a Kill is a solid and entertaining read. If you like James Bond (and who doesn't?), the story is worth buying just to add to your collection. However, the format of the "book" is nontraditional to say the least. It is printed on a "roadmap" of sorts - you have to fold it out like any state roadmap - rather than in a normal book style. So, while it's easily transportable and rather cheap, it's not something that you can put on your bookshelf, if that's what you're looking for. But if you want a real Ian Fleming James Bond story to read on the go -- I strongly recommend buying From a View to A Kill.
