The publisher of Mary Bond’s first book, How 007 Got His Name, was Collins, the same house that published Fleming’s later 007 novels. The front of the dust jacket featured a revolver with four bird feathers by popular cover illustrator Arthur Barbosa, after Richard Chopping’s designs for the dust jackets of the original 007 novels. The back of the dust jacket was a copy of the page that Fleming had inscribed to Jim Bond two years earlier. The dedication played off the inscription: “To the real James Bond—a quiet man with a quiet name.”

The book was published more than fifty years ago, when 007 was becoming a cult figure, and Mary relished the spotlight. She later wrote Far Afield in the Caribbean (1971) and To James Bond with Love (1980). On a trip to England to promote the latter book, she discussed the similarities between her husband and 007 actor Sean Connery. “They have some similarities, some similar interests. They like birds. But my husband is different. He shoots the birds. And of course they have a similar interest in guns and have their own special kinds. And I think the shaking of martinis or the stirring are very important similarities.”
