Read this in Metro today:

"James Bond is to star on a set of stamps. The covers of six 007 novels will mark the 100th anniversary of Bond creator Ian Flemings birth. First Class post feature Casino Royale and Dr No, while airmail get Goldfinger, Diamonds are forever, For Your Eyes Only and From Russia With Love. The extra-long stamps will be launched by Royal Mail on January 8 as part of its special stamps programme"

doesn't say if the Casino Royale book will be the film tie in, which would be nice!

No entirely a great philatelist but these Bond stamps are cool! Please let us know where they are available.
