Dear Reader,

SO many exciting things to share this week!

Book Launch, Dukes Hotel

Tickets will go on sale at 7pm tonight for the launch of A SPY LIKE ME – get your finger on the trigger/purchase button to snap them up!

Get Your Ticket

Pre-order A SPY LIKE ME

Here are all the details you need to know from the 007GB Fan Club:

Extremely limited tickets (batch 1 of 2) will be available in support of Unicef from Monday 11th March at 7pm.

The launch will take place at Dukes Hotel, Mayfair, on Saturday 27th April 6-9pm. A site of pilgrimage for Bond fans, DUKES has a long association with the 007 franchise, making it the perfect location for the launch of A SPY LIKE ME. The launch takes place in the elegant St James’s Suite.

In this intimate environment, guests will have the opportunity to meet Kim herself. After a wine reception, Kim will sit down for a revealing conversation with David Lowbridge-Ellis MBE. Kim will uncover how A SPY LIKE ME came into being, explore how the book builds on the Bond legend and how it brings the world of 007 up-to-date - with a bang!

All tickets include a complimentary glass of wine, selected by the sommelier at DUKES.

Double-O tickets - £15 preferential seating & photo op.
Agent tickets - £10 standard seating or standing.

Hatchards booksellers will be on hand for guests to purchase a copy of A SPY LIKE ME, which Kim will sign and dedicate in person. Double O guests will also be able to have a photograph of themselves and Kim, taken by a professional photographer.

If guests already have a copy of A SPY LIKE ME, they will have the opportunity to have them signed by Kim.

This event is a collaboration between Harper Collins, Ian Fleming Publications Limited and 007GB – The British James Bond Fan Club.
