"The Bone Collector" by Jeffrey Deaver.
"The Hardy Boys" by Franklin W. Dixon
"Nancy Drew" by Caroline Keene.
"Screenplay" by Richard North Patterson.
"James Bond" series by Ian Fleming and his successors.
This are but a few of the many books and series I have read that include bondage.

There's a few I can think of off the top of my head.
For younger readers:
The Kidnapping of Suzie Q. I don't know who wrote it. It helpfully has a picture of a blond girl with her arms tied and a cloth over her mouth though. It features a girl named Suzie (obviously) who gets taken hostage by 3 people who rob a grocery store she's in. She's tied up a decent amount of the time and makes a few escape attempts.
Silent Night 2, a book that R.L. Stine wrote back when he was making a killing off the Goosebumps series, though it's not a book in that series. A guy and girl kidnapper, and later, his brother with them, plan to kidnap and hold a rich businessman's daughter for ransom--but they get his niece instead (hard to explain why, you'd have to read it). There's some good descriptions of her tied, gagged, and blindfolded. Of course, after the ransom call they figure it out and release her...at least until they come back and get BOTH girls. It's a rather dark story considering the usual stuff Stine wrote about.
I can't speak about the Nancy Drew series, as I never would have been caught dead reading a GIRLS' book when I was a kid, but I'd estimate at least 1/3 of the Hardy Boys books I read had somebody getting tied up at some point in them. Sometimes it was the Hardy Boys themselves, sometimes their friends, girlfriends, occasionally more minor characters, and at least once that I remember, their mom and dad. It's not usually a focus of the books though.
If you can still find those things around, the old Choose Your Own Adventure series books sometimes had bondage, often with you getting tied up yourself (well, sort of). They sometimes had helpful pictures of "you," or somebody supposed to represent you, tied up.
For the older geezers (a.k.a. "adults"):
Land of the Living by Nicci French. One I read pretty recently. Pretty much the entire first 50-60 pages is a description by the main character and first-person narrator, Abbie, a 25-year old woman who's been kidnapped by a serial killer, of how she's tied up and tormented by her captor and eventually escapes. It's a different take than most though, as she apparently took a serious blow to the head during the initial kidnapping because she has no short-term memory of anything that happened for several days leading up to the kidnapping, and a lot of the description is about her trying to deal with the situation she's in and not panic and keep fighting and so on. Most of the rest of the book after the first part is of Abbie trying to figure out what exactly happened to her. There's a (much briefer) description of another victim as well.
A Stranger is Watching by Mary Higgins Clark. I was actually introduced to this one by somebody. It involves the girlfriend and son of a guy getting kidnapped and being held captive underneath Grand Central Station in New York. They spend a good bit of time tied and gagged.

I didn't read that many young detective stories but i do remember illustrations of victims in "detective" (OTM) gags. One is Boys Life magazine from July, 1963 with the story "Model T Mountain" with 2 teenage detectives (boys) named Sam and Windy. There's a full-page illustration of them tied rather tight with rope and OTM gagged.I remembered most of the caption "throughout the night they sat, helplessly bound and gagged." I thought if only. When they were rescued and the gags came off they tried to speak, but only squeaked. If anyone's interested they could probably order thru a back issue magazine dealer. In the late 80s I saw a book for sale at a supermarket called "Angie's First Case" by Donald J. Sobol, creator of Encyclopedia Brown. Angie is a girl detective with a boy sidekick. That cover showed them loosely bound and gagged in a warehouse and they were just about to free themselves. I checked the internet and I couldn't find that cover. I only saw the original from 1981 which showed them on their bikes and staring at something suspiciously from a tropical underbrush. (It takes place in Miami.) Anyway, never read the book so I am judging a book by its cover. Of course Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys are the standard which lead to many TUGs for generations. Several years ago I was at a thrift shop in Dublin, Ireland and saw several copies of the U.K. edition of Nancy Drew. I would have bought them for a friend in the States, but he only collects the Hardys, not Nancy.I browsed thru some of the pages and noticed some changes in the text, such as where it said that Nancy, Bess and George were trapped in the back of a lorry, not a truck. PS- Please bear with me, I still haven't mastered separating paragraphs yet.

the traveler by john katzenbach.
A man kidnaps a woman and travels around with her in a old blue camaro killing people and taking photographs. She has to write about it or she dies. There are a good few times she is tied up in the book. At one point of the book for a whole chapter (if i remember right) she is hogtied and gagged on a floor trying to get free, and thinking of ways to get him to let her go. only to give up and have to wait for him to come back.
Let's use all the colors.
Dust 'em, Pix!
Yup! That tasted purple!

Return of the howling by Gary Brandner has a tie-up in which the main character has her arms tied to the arms of a chair and her legs tied to the legs of the chair with rope. She's not gagged.
There's a book in the Point horror series by R.L.Stine called The hitchhiker, where the hitchhiker and a girl are tied to chairs and cleave gagged (I think so, It's been a couple of years since I read it) before the kidnapper attempts to feed them to piranhas.
Also, there's a goosebumps book (I can't remember what it's called) where the main character keeps seeing ghouls knocking gravestones over in a graveyard, much to the disbelief of his friends, who reason that if they tie him to a gravestone, leave him and then come back in an hour, a ghoul would have taken him away if it even existed. Despite his protests, they proceed to tie his hands behind a gravestone, tie his body to the gravestone with rope and walk away. A ghoul does actually come and possess his body, unknown to to the two characters who come back to untie him.
Victims By Shaun Hutson has a scene where a gangster is interrogated. He has his hands tied behind a chair with rope and has some very nasty things done to him...

IIRC, "The Moon Tenders" by August Derleth. It's a 1960's YA (Young Adult) novel, first in a series. (I don't recall ever reading any of the others, so I can't say if the others have bondage in them).

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned "Peter Pan." That story has introduced a number of kids to bondage. How can you beat a story about a band of pirates that tie up their captives?

In the Night Season by Bausch has a bit of it. A former mobster died, but some of his associates thought his family might still have something that belonged to them.

The most notorious "modern" novel I know of is Let's Go Play At The Adams, but trust me - it is not a book you approach lightly, an dis very very disturbing in parts.
A E W Mason, who wrote The Four Feathers, also wrote At The Villa Rosa, which has as the central tenet of the plot a fake medium and an heiress in distress. You can read part of the tale at http://infomotions.com/etexts/gutenberg/dirs/etext03/vllrs10.htm

I am totally surprised that no one has mentioned the GOR novels those books are FILLED with bondage some of the newer reprints even have bondage covers
Tarnsmen of Gor is the first of the series . if you like your bondage mixed in with a bit of Slavegirl stuff and fighting warrior babes these books are for you IF you can find them. my guess you COULD look for em on line that's sorta cheating if you ask me .You could also go track down your local used book store every town or city across the planet has at least one in them you never know you might find the others mentioned here as well.Its NOT just used book stores,check out the antique shops
I have been able to find the first 5 Nancy Drew Novels that were first edition at one of the local shops its all about timing they are out there
simply remember this Opportunity+ instinct= profit GOOD HUNTING

I was not going to bring up the Gor novels, but since you mention them... :o)
Iâ€™m not a fan because the â€œscience fictionâ€ is cheesy beyond redemption, but in terms of bondage and slavery they are in a class of their own. Itâ€™s 95% female b & s, but there are bits here and there for every taste.
Considering the notoriety, itâ€™s remarkable that the series was written by a professor of philosophy.
And on the topic of b & s, my favourite of the genre is â€œStory of Oâ€.
Words, like Nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.

Most of the above books mentioned are fiction, but don't forget the how-to books. Quite a few came out in the 90s and were sold in the sexuality section of large bookstores such as Barnes & Noble and the late Borders in the U.S. and Chapters and Indigo in Canada. I even saw one in the textbook dept. of a major university bookstore as required reading. Those titles included Different Loving and Come Hither by Dr. Gloria Brame; Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns by Miller, Devon & Granzig; and Sex Tips From a Dominatrix by Patricia Payne. In or Out of Print, you might check Amazon or other book dealers. I think it was in Ms. Payne's book, but I'm not 100% sure since I no longer have a copy, but I do remember a profundity. Sorry if it's the wrong attribution but that was "Ropes are surrogate hugs, gags are surrogate kisses." Happy reading.
