His last book had an abysmal cover too. The early editions ofThe Secret World of 007 probably had the best cover to date.

In the last few years he does seem stuck on monochrome.

Judging from the cover of that book the image of Bond has mutated becoming a specter I am completely uncomfortable with. That cover is not a cover I would pick on a dare with the devil himself. If the object is to sell a metric ton of those books then the wrong actor was chosen, Sean Connery is universally accepted as James Bond 007 and timeless to boot.

Nothing says "the style" and "the excitement" like seeing Daniel Craig squinting at you in glorious black and white.

This madness must end. What the heck does Eon think they are doing? Cubby would not have auditioned CR-egg let alone select him.

Ruined? More like corrupting the series if you ask me. This is what happen to the World of Bond when Babs hired her man.

EON might as well just quit while they're still ahead.

And JJ and members of the Roddenbery family, gives us some MORE Star Trek.

Bond is unusual most of the movies set the tone ignoring popular influences like ponytailed heroes. Then sometimes they drop off the charts adopting whatever is somewhat popular like Jason Bourne, reboots and spiky Bart Simpson hair.

No thank you. I would prefer Bond get a way from the short bordering on balding assistant coach hair no need for the sensitive guy with a ponytail look.
