Britain honoring James Bond on stamps

The Royal Mail is issuing six new stamps to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Ian Fleming. The extra-long stamps, out on January 8th, feature editions of the James Bond novels, including Goldfinger and Casino Royale, and are launched in the year the Imperial War Museum London hosts an exhibition, For Your Eyes Only, on the author and his famous spy. This year the Royal Mail will also issue stamps on British monarchs, cathedrals, Hammer Horror films and the end of the First World War.
