This book is great on so many levels. First of all, it’s James Bond. You can’t get much better than that. Maybe MacGyver or Jack Bauer on one of their really great days, but seriously, nothing beats 007. And that includes 007 books. The details on this cover are just amazing. For once, the typewriter font is actually fitting. The embossing just makes you want to touch it. If I saw this at the bookstore, I would seriously consider adding it to my library.

I can’t stand seeing Courier typeface used. Although, you are right and for this situation is it prefect. I want to see the cover up close. Looks like some fantastic details have been brought out in the letterpress and embossing.
P.S. When can we expect another shoe painting post?
