Could you please cite the Chapter/Page number for this:
"Bond had referred to Mr Big, the famous Harlem criminal, as 'that damned n****r. Leiter had picked him up. Careful now, James, he had said. People are so damn sensitive about colour around here that you can't even ask a barman for a jigger of rum. You have to ask for a jegro."
Thanks!
From memory, it's from Chapter 12 "Acme Mud And Sulphur". Can't recall the page number though.

Indeed it is. Sure it wasn't from the meal at Sardis.
I'm currently reading through the first seven Novels. As they focus on Smersh Agents and the Soviet Union, whilst the Novels post GF focus on S.P.E.C.T.R.E and Bonds Spiral of Darkness -{
1.On Her Majesties Secret Service 2.The Living Daylights 3.license To Kill 4.The Spy Who Loved Me 5.Goldfinger
I'm home now and can check it.
The quote actually comes from Chapter 13 (not 12, as I tried to remember earlier, but I got the chapter title right) and it's on p124 of the Cape edition. Bond is lying in a mudbath, and Wint & Kidd are about to appear.
I checked my "reading" copy of DAF which is a November 1961 Signet paperback. It's awfully dog-eared and sections of the yellowed pages are falling out. I did not find that quote, and am horrified to find that censors have dug into my favorite novels and chopped out bits and pieces! To think I had figured that I read allthe Bond novels for decades, only to discover I have missed whole sentences! What an outrage!
I have the FEL editions and hope they are not similarly redacted. Fortunately/unfortunately they are still in the shrink wrap, so I can't check.

That's in DAF, chapter Acme Mud and Sulphur, page 135 of the Penguin Books 2006 reissue with introductions
EDIT: Sorry, had been adressed allready, my bad...

I think that you need to get the 2003 editions onwards to have the unexpurgated text; either that or buy the British editions of the Bonds that were uncut.

Thanks SM, it's not like I think that bit is 'good', but I do not support censorship. I'm an adult and I can decide for my own self what I do and do not accept as, err... acceptable. )
Wow 6 weeks away and I finished off the remains of OHMSS, all of YOLT and I'm about 50 pages into THWTGG!! Pathetic or what?? I envisioned relaxing in the sun polishing off all the books however my young girls never gave me a minutes peace
Anyhow I was impressed with YOLT and the feel of TMWTGG (so far). You do really feel like 007 is on his last legs.
Quite apparent that there are still tons of small cool moments and scenarios that have not been used by EON

In the mud baths .Another great idea for a punishment,

But yes, Bond takes one hell of a beating.

Thanks for the help!!!

That's correct. My only regret about is that Fleming's wonderful preface to TSWLM is now gone, since it only appeared in the American editions.
