My Octopussy has no New York!

I just realized that my 1966 paperback Signet edition has no "007 in New York"! What the flub?
Any one else missing this short story like I am?
Was that the only edition to leave it out?
SOMEONE WILL PAY!!!!
(yeah, ME, for a newer edition, it seems!) )

This short story was only added in 2002 to the reprints - it was first published in 1999 in the Sunday Times magazine.

The short story was first published as an addendum to the 1960s Thrilling Cities hardback as he was pretty hard on New York.

That's the reason it's not in 1960s-1990s versions of Octopussy - you're probably also missing 'The Property of a Lady' added in 1967!

No, it's in there. *whew* My bad- it IS the 1967 edition; I just looked more closely.
I bought all the Bond books in the late 80's when I worked at a book store (LOL, and didn't actually READ them for years) , and most of it was new (at the time) Berkley editions, but TMWTGG, OHMSS & OP were older Signet editions still available, however, my YOLT is a second printing from 1964 and has an exceptionally interesting cover...
