 Ian Fleming introduces the island where, at his coastal winter retreat named "Goldeneye", he wrote one James Bond novel per year from 1952/3 to 1964. The main body of this readable work is devoted to the natural history, literature, architecture, politics, leisure, and general culture of Jamaica. Ian Fleming died before this volume was published, so no copies autographed by him are available.

Phoebe Hart wrote the chapter entitled Birds, which was singled out by The Telegraph as the best entry within the book. She knew the original James Bond, as both were Jamaica-based ornithologists
