Signet Paperback books any value?

A friend of mine just gave me 3 Signet paperback 007 books he found in his attic. Dr. No, Thunderball and The Man With The Golden Gun. I don't know if they might be worth anything. Any help or advice would be appreciated. TMWTGG book says "first printing, July 1966. Even if they have no value, it's still pretty cool! Thanks!:)

    Unfortunately, you can buy those Signets all day long for very little money. The movie tie ins are perhaps worth a shade more. But still not a lot of money. The Signet first TMWTGG is in better condition than mine but again not a lot of money. Nevertheless, I've always loved the Signets. They are great period pieces to have in any collection and helped fuel the James Bond phenomenon in the U.S. as they were available contemporaneously with the original movie releases. Just keep them and enjoy. The cover art on them is superb.

    Love the Signet editions---they were my childhood ticket to Ian Fleming's literary world B-) I begged my mom to buy a copy of MR at a garage sale, in the early 1970s, for ten cents...I still have that one...

    That's what I thought. In a way it's better, now I can keep them and not be tempted to sell them.
    Thanks so much for your help!-{

    I still use my original set, sadly they are turning yellow and the glue binding's are dissolving....
