In 1961, President Kennedy named it among his ten favorite books, "JFK's seal of approval was just the fillip that Viking, Ian's new [American] publishers, needed for his books to take off in the United States" (Lycett, 383). "Described in the Times Literary Supplement as 'most brilliant,' the book was a great commercial success and helped to launch Fleming as a best-selling novelist.

"This is a very highly sought after title, as it is generally considered the best novel in the series and the best of the movies, as well" (Biondi & Pickard, 44).

Dear Elizabeth,
You will know that SOUNDINGS was temporarily withdrawn from sale last year under threat of legal action in respect of the Dorothy Hewett poem, 'Memories of a Protestant Girlhood'.
The person threatening legal action requested the removal from the poem of what he deemed offensive passages. Dorothy, after considering his suggestion for some time, has found that she cannot agree to this request.
Consequently, the Press has regretfully now permanently withdrawn from sale the remaining copies of SOUNDINGS. Booksellers and educational organizations have been advised of this action.

Yours sincerely

Ian Templeman
Chief Executive
