Vintage to publish Ian Fleming non-fiction titles in 2013

While Ian Fleming is best known for writing James Bond, as well as the children’s book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, he also published a couple of non-fiction books.

Both Thrilling Cities, Fleming’s exploration of fourteen cities that was commissioned by the Sunday Times, and The Diamond Smugglers, his investigation of an African diamond smuggling operation, are to be published next year by Vintage, the publisher that recently republished all the Bond books.

Both books will be available from April 4th but can be pre-ordered from Amazon now:
