Per Fine Ounce [SEP] series
Per Fine Ounce
Per Fine Ounce is the title of an unpublished novel by Geoffrey Jenkins featuring Ian Fleming's James Bond. It was completed c.1966 and is considered a "lost" novel by fans of James Bond because it was actually commissioned by Glidrose Productions, the official publishers of James Bond. It was rejected for publication, however, missing the opportunity to become the first continuation James Bond novel. "The Adventures of James Bond Junior 003½", a novel written by the pseudonymous R. D. Mascott, was later published
Books published a reprint of a comic strip based upon "Colonel Sun". The introduction states that in the mid-1970s Amis lobbied for Eon Productions (producers of the Bond film franchise) to produce a film based upon his book. Reportedly he was told that Saltzman had forbidden that any film be made based on "Colonel Sun" due to Glidrose refusing to publish "Per Fine Ounce" a decade earlier.
In 2010, previously unreleased extracts from the "lost" Jenkins manuscript "Per Fine Ounce" were released exclusively
