James Bond for January (and a thrilling cover)

 I found this image on the official Facebook page of Ian Fleming, back in January 2020. Right before the pandemic. They were suggesting to cure the January blues by reading a Bond novel, more specifically Moonraker. This cover is from the 2012 vintage edition and I just love it. Both soberly elegant and ominous. A truly classic cover for a classic hero. Anyway, the original novel is so much superior to the film and would make for an excellent read this month. even though it's set in August (if I'm not mistaken).
