A MINE OF INFORMATION FOR WOULD-BE BONDS

“EVERY week about sixty applications to join the British Secret Service come to my desk. Most of them specify not the clerical or menial grades, in which there is an occasional vacancy for men with the appropriate background, but the 00 Section, the one whose members are licensed to kill.

We don’t do our recruiting in this way, so I have to write back to all these people and say no. This goes against the grain. So much keen ambition and enthusiasm shouldn’t be allowed to go to waste. I have decided, therefore, to make it possible for the right sort of man to get all the benefits of belonging to the 00 Section without actually joining it, to acquire the glamour without having to be kicked in the shins with poisoned shoes or nibbled by barracudas.

For many years I have been lucky enough to be a colleague of the best-known member of the Section: 007. Naturally I’m a keen student of his exploits in all their ramifications. I now offer his admirers, his would-be imitators – a complete and authoritative guide to 007ly thought, conversation and behaviour. What and how to drink and eat and smoke, what kind of car to posses (or pretend to posses), how to look right (without plastic surgery), how to be the scourge of the casinos (without having to do any gambling) – this and much more I explain clearly and in detail.

By every study, plus a modest outlay of time and money, even you can become your own 007.”
