James Bond is renowned for his impeccable taste when it comes to women, and the girl on the front of the brand new Bond book will leave you both shaken and stirred.

The jacket image for DEVIL MAY CARE, written by Sebastian Faulks, features the model Tuuli Shipster, muse of the British photographer, Rankin.

Tuuli says: “I was thrilled that Penguin chose me to be their Bond girl. It’s fantastic to be involved with something so iconic.”

Tuuli, the daughter of a diplomat, is just one of the elements on the cover of the eagerly-awaited new Bond book. The cover image features a blood red flower with the silhouette of a naked woman as its stem, against a black background – strictly for your eyes only.

Alex Clarke, Penguin Editor of DEVIL MAY CARE, says: "The cover had to be something stylish and sophisticated - all the things that one associates with Fleming's James Bond. With such a great concept the challenge was then to find the perfect girl to bring it to life. We just knew the moment we saw her that Tuuli was our Bond girl.”

The jacket image was created by the award winning design agency, The Partners, who work with some of Britain’s oldest heritage brands including Jaguar, Wedgwood, Harrods, the BBC and The National Gallery.

Jack Renwick, Creative Director, The Partners says: “It’s an honour to become a small part of Bond’s rich visual history. Bond is sex, intrigue and violence. We wanted to capture this and give a subtle nod to the familiar, iconic Bond images of old. It is with great pride that The Partners adds Penguin’s latest Bond to their portfolio.”

The cover photograph was taken by British photographer and commercials director, Kevin Summers.



DEVIL MAY CARE is written by best selling author Sebastian Faulks and is set in the Cold War. It will be published by Penguin on 28th May 2008 to mark the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth. Alongside the publication of DEVIL MAY CARE, there is a year long programme of projects planned for the centenary, including exhibitions at the Imperial War Museum and the Fleming Collection and special Ian Fleming’s James Bond stamps issued by the Royal Mail.

I did take some pics of the helicopters hovering over the thames as they were quite low but in the pics,which i'll up later,they seem too look quite far away.

Bond is something which really makes great books, movies, and videogames.

For quite a while now, we've been trying to think of a cooler domain name than 007.com. Answers on a postcard if you know of one, because we couldn't think of anything.

If there's a person alive who hasn't heard about the new Bond film I'd be very surprised and as gadgets freaks we have to pay homage. This is just me, but I think Daniel Craig is Bond as he should be: ruthless and flawed, just like the character in the novels.

So, despite the fuss about the name (as if Bond titles were ever sensible anyway) we reckon this is a must see movie.

Can't wait.

Quantum Of Solace

mmmm not much on reading the novels although I have read 1 or 2, but love the movies. Cannot wait for the next one to come out. I think Daniel Craig is what Ian Fleming was thinking of when he wrote the books. He is that type of actor who portrays Bond so well.

already know this, there was a programme on about it the other ngiht

[gnjuss]

I also like this Bond,punch him he bleeds,ruthless till the end.I also like this reference to the early years--like in Casino Royale when he first gets his '00' status...Kinda reminds me of 'Batman Begins',only this would be 'Bond Begins'.
But I still think that Brosnan was best.I guess only an Irishman could pull it off that good.
