When Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel was released, the publishers feared that Americans wouldn't be able to pronounce 'Casino Royale.' Under what title was it first distributed in the United States?

“You Asked For It” http://www.007forever.com/books/investigativereports001.html www.ianfleming.org/mkkbb/magazine/casino.shtml Incidentally, did Fleming think that “casino” was feminine in French? Nov 16 03, 3:03 PM

Terrific TT. I don't know if Fleming spoke French. With his upper-class education it would be a good guess he did. Oops, I spoke too soon, another source here says it was "Too Hot to Handle" Anybody have any cofirmation one way or another? Nov 16 03, 3:11 PM

These sites (and several others) suggest that “Too Hot to handle” was the American title of “Moonraker”: www.artofjamesbond.com/paperbacks.htm www.rediff.com/netguide/2002/jul/13pick.htm Nov 16 03, 3:45 PM
