For the 100th anniversary of Ian Fleming's birth, Penguin UK commissioned artist Michael Gillette to create new covers for a set of centenary edition James Bond hardbacks. The original paintings--all psychedelic colors and strategic, suggestive poses--were on display recently in London and limited edition prints signed by Gillette are on sale at the online gallery Cosh. Thus far, the books appear to only be available in the United Kingdom but if you can stand the exchange rate, they're available through Amazon's UK site.
About $18, at Amazon.co.uk.
