Fleming wrote more than a dozen Bond books at his home known as Goldeneye on the north coast of Jamaica. He first visited the island during World War II for a naval conference. The writer and his wife, Ann, would spend two months out of the year there, when he would work on his books. He reportedly developed a routine while writing the first book in the series, "Casino Royale." Each day, he'd go for a swim, eat breakfast, then sit down to craft the adventures of 007. The books were published between 1953 and 1965.
"For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming and James Bond" runs until March 2009. (You can just hear Sheena Easton singing to you now, can't you?)
