My Next Free 007 Zoom Talk: Tuesday

Screen Shot 2022-12-15 at 8.49.55 AMLooking forward to presenting my next Zoom talk on Tuesday, with some new material on 007 in the Adirondacks.

Meet The Real James Bond
A free Zoom talk for
the Southern Adirondack Audubon Society
Tuesday, Jan. 24, 7 pm.

In 1952, Ian Fleming stole the name of a famous ornithologist and explorer named James Bond (1900-1989), the author of the trail-blazing Birds of the West Indies.

This colorfully illustrated talk will focus on Bond, Ian Fleming, and some 007 moments in the Adirondacks.

Jim Wright is the author of The Real James Bond, the acclaimed biography of the author and birdman who fell prey to the world’s most famous case of identity theft. The Wall Street Journal called it “slim and elegant” -- just like the real Bond and 007.

Book Signed by James and Mary Bond

I happened upon this webpage advertising a copy Screen Shot 2023-01-10 at 8.59.14 AMof How 007 Got His Name, signed by both James Bond and his wife, Mary Wickham Bond.

Here's part of the description:

First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author and her husband James Bond on the front free endpaper: "To Sarah and Bill, with Democratic wishes (R-L? or L-R?) from Mary Wickham Bond. April 8 1967" and "From a Republican. James Bond". While copies signed by the author occasionally appear in commerce, those signed by the subject are evidently scarce.
