From Russia With Love by Ian Fleming. (In Gilt-Edged Bonds) In the Library: PR 6056 .L4 .G54 1961 Currently on the faculty favorites area on the main floor of the library

This is probably one of the best thrillers ever written.  Beautifully crafted, it evokes the Cold War era of the late 50's with marvelous intensity.  It's a much more sophisticated novel than I expected it to be. J.F.K. put it on his list of favorite novels. - Susanne Thomas
