Film.com has a funny article on the title Quantum of Solace (which they hate), and speculates about titles that are even worse.

Yes, Bond purist guy, Ian Fleming did write a short story called Quantum of Solace, but it was about a dinner party. Not exactly international intrigue. Besides, he wrote a story called 007 in New York too. Who wants to see that on a billboard? Sounds like a Crocodile Dundee vehicle. (He also wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Case = rested.)
