I sold one a couple of years ago for (I think) £20, in pretty good nick - as always, condition is everything.

Hadley and Torment stared at Joe, who pulled out a cigar which in turn prompted an image from Hadley’s childhood, a James Bond annual his dad had given him for Christmas when he was about ten. It had full-page pictures of Sean Connery, including one from ‘Goldfinger’ of him leaning against his Aston Martin wearing a grey trilby and smoking a cigar, and one from ‘Thunderball’ wearing a very un-macho one-piece towel suit. Between the pictures there were short Bond stories, most dating back to the years after the war in an unexotic England. But what Hadley remembered most was the front cover – round the edges were little silhouette motifs of Bond fighting someone off with flailing arms which, if viewed at arm’s length and through squinted eyes, looked like complicated Chinese characters.
“I‘m sorry to tell you Chris,” Joe said, “but there is no way we can let you be the next James Bond – this is not me speaking. I am just the messenger.”

I think Mr Hadley ought to re-check his Bond annual

Or just a licence to err. He's a journalist after all.
