The novel was subtitled "Casino Royale" and made reference to secret agent 007 as "Jimmy Bond" on the back cover. Fleming's suggestions for a new title, "The Double-O Agent" and "The Deadly Gamble", were disregarded in favour of "You Asked For It". The first paperback edition of "Casino Royale" in the United States was re-titled by publisher American Popular Library in 1955 (this followed a hardcover edition with the original title). "Casino Royale" was first released on 13th April, 1953, in a United Kingdom hardcover edition by publishers Jonathan Cape. Since first publication on April 13, 1953, by Jonathan Cape, "Casino Royale" has thrice been adapted for the screen: (i) the " Climax!" CBS television episode with Barry Nelson as CIA agent "Jimmy Bond", 1954, (ii) an eponymous spoof with David Niven as "Sir James Bond", and (iii) the twenty-first official film in the EON Productions film series with Daniel Craig as James Bond, released November 17, 2006. It would eventually pave the way for eleven other novels by Fleming himself in addition to two short story collections, followed by many 'continuation' Bond novels by other authors. "Casino Royale" by Ian Fleming is the first James Bond novel. ![]() Media_type = Print ( Hardcover and Paperback) Image_caption = First edition cover - published by Jonathan Cape.
