 The novel was serialised in "The Daily Express" newspaper from 12 April 1956 onwards—the first of Fleming's novels he had sold to the newspaper—which led to an overall rise in the sales of the novels.From November 1956 sales of "Diamonds Are Forever", and Fleming's other novels, all rose following the visit of the Prime Minister, Sir Anthony Eden, to Fleming's Goldeneye estate to recuperate following the Suez Crisis; Eden's stay was much reported in the British press.The book received boosts in sales in 1962 when Eon Productions adapted "Dr. No" for the cinema, and in 1971 when "Diamonds Are Forever" was produced for the big screen.
