  Hi, there were no Royal premiere brochures for Dr No or FRWL. The first Royal Premiere programme was Goldfinger in 64. It is rumoured a UK brochure may exist for FRWL but in my many decades of collecting I have never seen one. Expect to pay £500+ for a Goldfinger. The first UK brochure for Dr No was the press book.

  There were no Royal Premiere brochures for Dr No, Russia or Diamonds. Not sure what is meant by the limited edition above. Perhaps just the shop programme...
  
  I am personally looking for Goldfinger and Thunderball to complete my run.

  Although there was no Royal Premiere for Diamonds are Forever, DAF premiered at The Odeon Theatre in Edinburgh on January 14th 1972. The premiere was attended by Sean Connery, now that's what I call Royalty. A numbered premiere programme was produced for the evening. Mr Connery was kind enough to sign my copy.

  Hmm, really.
  
  Didn't know that.
  
  Would you be able to scan the front - I have never seen an image of it. The covers for most of the Connery era brochures were a real mixed bag, only YOLT providing poster artwork on the front.
  
  The OHMSS one was a ring bindered affair...!

  The cover of the DAF premiere programme is the photo of Mr Connery pointing the silenced (knurled cap) Walther PPK direct at camera with Las Vegas behind him with credits lower left in yellow. The rear cover is identicle to the front cover but without credits. This is the same photo which appears on the rear cover of the Pan tie-in paperback.
  
  The Goldfinger Royal Premiere programme features the British B-quad artwork on the cover.
