Cover artwork from the James Bond books to mark the centenary of the birth of Ian Fleming, who created the smooth secret agent more than a little in his own image (Fleming worked for the wartime intelligence services and had a suave way with the ladies himself). This exhibition looks at the creation of the Bond style from the first cover for 'Casino Royale' in 1953, whose jacket design Fleming was personally involved with, as well as the author's children's book 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'.
