That's a great price Pete, I've seen these First Edition Library sets go for near £1000 on evilbay, circumstances were different they'd defo be heading for my shelves.

danjaq_0ff

I also have TND and LTK which I think are also rare

The TND is unread, the LTK is in good condition

Sir Miles

I was lucky with TND as I knew it was going to be a small run in hardback - so I pre-ordered it from Dave Worrall...I also bought the book club edition from him too...it took me six years to finally nab a copy of LTK in hardback...for some reason it passed me by at the time of its release - I don't think I was aware of it until a good few years later...

danjaq_0ff

I did the same, though not through Mr Worrall and the LTK I picked up about 10 years ago

Barbel

Just for interest, a few of mine-











Some of these look old because they are! I inherited the Flemings from my grandfather (bar OP, he'd died by then), then bought the rest as they were published.

I have two copies each of LTK and GE in hardback- the good ones are on the shelf as in the pic. The spare copies are pretty tatty, and I've thought about selling them off on eBay but never really got round to it.

danjaq_0ff

I'll raise ya and all of the novels are for sale -{

Sir Miles

You're both lucky that I can't get a pic of mine...I've over 200 Bond books... )

Though both of you have very nice examples there -{

Oh, you think? ) ) )

Only my lack of computer tech knowledge prevents me showing more....

Still, an excellent collection, Pete, though why you would sell them beats me!

danjaq_0ff

I was only ever in to books with pics Chas

Barbel

That doesn't explain such a wonderful Bond book collection!

danjaq_0ff

Hmm, well back when the Danbury Mint Books were being issued, I had to sell my other bond bits, I had collected corgi's, larger cars and SD Studio stuff, so being the the book collection hadn't been fully released I carried on collecting them, after the full set came out the collector in me kicked in again and over time I picked up the older books while buying the new ones as they were coming out.

I have never read any of them, they just sit there, so I'm biting the bullet and outing them

Barbel

I take it you've read the books in other editions, then? I can quite understand not wanting to break into uncut editions.

danjaq_0ff

yeah, I had read them in my twenties, Ive read most of them up to Bensons last 3 I think, I did try and read Carte Blanch a few years back, but I couldn't get my head around his Bond and gave up

ics

Very Nice Peter.... very nice -{

Nice to se that Teppo is still around -{

You mean you've not read them ALL? You do realise that means you're not a true Bond fan right?

danjaq_0ff

Bugger, Oh well

It is good to see him back

minigeff

Lol Thought that'd have a profound effect )

Barbel

Some overlapping in the pics, I'm not into photography and Thunderpussy lives too far away to ask him for help.
