Pop Focus: Vintage James Bond paperback covers

With a new James Bond film in the theaters, why not take a look back at where it all began: in the pages of Ian Fleming's thriller novels.

Fleming's books have been reprinted numerous times, in editions that allow the cover artists to provide their own varied takes of the storylines within and the Bond mythos overall.

Here's a by no means selection of Bond book covers from, roughly, the 1950s through the 1970s.
