Bond Books: Centenary Edition Hardback series

Asian Bond Girls in previous James Bond films
You may not know this but the only three Asian Bond girls are Mie Hama (as Kissy Suzuki in You Only Live Twice), Akiko Wakabayashi (as Aki in You Only Live Twice) and Datuk Michelle Yeoh (as Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies). Lots of information at this Wikipedia entry if you want to know more about Bond girls and how they have been long been stereotyped as ’sex objects’.
