April 13th! It's James Bond's birthday today... (oh, and mine!)

Check out my SmörgåsBond playlist on Youtube:

...or indeed any of my previous Bond-themed podcast episodes. I always talk about the importance of Ian Fleming, and today marks the publication of his very first James Bond novel, 'Casino Royale'.

I recommend three Ian Fleming biographies:

• "For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming and James Bond" by Ben Macintyre, for some great 007 novel and film connections, I recommend the hardback glossy page edition.
• "The Life of Ian Fleming" by John Pearson, for a good straightforward biography of Tue great man. 
• "Ian Fleming: The Complete Man" by Nicholas Shakespeare, for a forensic look at Fleming's life.
