Clyde Allison aka ( William Henley Knowles ) James Bond parody For Your Sighs Only 1966 Ember Library

This book has all the usual William Knowles/Clyde Allison madness.  The story starts with a nude Alpine ski chase, which has to be my all time favorite opening to a novel.  The language in the book is hysterically overblown and the sex scenes are just intended to be silly.  There is a 4-5 page passage towards the beginning of the book where Agent 0008, Trevor Anderson, just deals with his female co-agents breasts.  Knowles had his own style in the vein of Terry Southern and some of the other post-beat writers of the ‘60s, and it was really quite funny.

For an incredible biography of William Knowles by Mr. Lynn Monroe go about halfway down the following page.  The article is called William Knowles: The Life and Death of Clyde Allison.

I have to recommend the book Gorgonzola, Won’t You Please Come Home? Which Knowles wrote under the pen name Clyde Ames.  It was written for Lancer books and I get the feeling he was paid more for writing this one or he took more time because it’s really the best of his spy parodys. I'll try to scan it sometime and upload it here.
