The original James Bond books from the 1950s and 1960s have been edited to remove racist terms
The new issues of Ian Fleming's famous novel series are set to be released in April to mark the 70th anniversary of Casino Royale, which was first published in spring 1953.
A disclaimer has been added to the books after a review by sensitivity readers. “This book was written at a time when terms and attitudes which might be considered offensive by modern readers were commonplace," it reads, as reported by The Telegraph. “A number of updates have been made in this edition, while keeping as close as possible to the original text and the period in which it is set."
