Bentley Motors Designs Limited Collectors Edition of the New Bond Book Devil May Care
In a unique collaboration between three of Britain's iconic brands - James Bond, Bentley Motors and Penguin Books - a special, limited edition of the new Bond book Devil May Care will be published on 28th May.

Written by Sebastian Faulks at the invitation of Ian Fleming Publications to celebrate the Ian Fleming centenary, Devil May Care is one of the most eagerly anticipated publications of 2008.

Cars and James Bond have always had a strong association and, contrary to popular belief, Bond's preference has historically been firmly with Bentley Motors.

He owned three Bentleys in the course of the fourteen original novels written by Ian Fleming.

It is fitting therefore that in Devil May Care - published to coincide with the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth - Bond is found once again in the driving seat of his favourite car.

To mark the reunion, Penguin approached Bentley to produce a luxury, limited edition of Devil May Care.

The result is a beautiful and striking edition which takes its inspiration from hard-covers of the original 1950s and 1960s Bond books combined with the stylish Bentley owner's manuals and handbooks of the era.

Inside the book is a specially designed model pewter Bentley, described in detail by Fleming in Thunderball.
