Daniel Craig goes shopping for Casino Royale first edition

13-Sep-2005 • Literary

Daniel Craig, who recently screentested for the James Bond role, was spotted on August 5th in London's Cecil Court, a well-known enclave of antiquarian books, inquiring about a first edition of Ian Fleming's "Casino Royale."

The bookseller obviously knew who he was talking to and quoted him £25,000 ($46,000) for a mint-condition copy of the first James Bond novel, which Sony and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson are prepping for the bigscreen under helmer Martin Campbell.

But Craig was apparently shaken (not stirred) by the pricetag and left without purchasing the volume - reports Variety.

Thanks to `Satorious` for the alert.
