In the introduction to this book Jeremy Duns remarks that this book is an omnibus edition of two short books: Diamonds In The Rough and Rogue Royale. Diamonds In The Rough is a collection of six articles about the cinematic and literary worlds of Ian Fleming and James Bond. Some of this material has previously been published in newspapers, magazines and online, but all of it has been revised and in some cases greatly expanded. In Rogue Royale Jeremy Duns investigates Ben Hecht's screenplays for Casino Royale.
