The shortest and most sexually explicit of Fleming's novels, it was banned in some countries and was not released in a paperback edition in Britain until several years after Fleming's death (Fleming had, in fact, requested that no paperback ever be published of the text).

In the United States, a condensed version of the novel was published in the men's mag ...

While the Stig obviously has a racing background, his true identity has never been revealed by the Top Gear presenters.

However, once Perry McCarthy's book, Flat Out, Flat Broke, was published in 2003, it became clear that he was the original Stig (from 2002 to 2003).

Live and Let Die is considered one of Fleming's most controversial novels due to its depiction of blacks.

Besides the 1973 film of the same name (see below), the 1981 film For Your Eyes Only and 1989's Licence to Kill also used major plot elements from the book. See also:
