Again, I don't think they're the one you're talking about, but it does look liek there is one Harper version there, although I think that one is a paperback.
I hope you find the one you want to view.

Thanks, Zen. I've always liked that wacky Dali-esqe cover.

Good job, zencat. I knew CBn's James Bond book expert could crack this case.
That's why I'm here.
And thanks, Qwerty, for that link. There's some great CS covers there I've never seen.

You're welcome of course. That's one of my favorite James Bond sites.And thanks, Qwerty, for that link. There's some great CS covers there I've never seen.
But I find it hard to believe you've never seen all those covers before.....after all, you're one of the leading collector's.

There were two foreign covers near the bottom that I've never seen -- one was Russian, I believe. IYou're welcome of course. That's one of my favorite James Bond sites.And thanks, Qwerty, for that link. There's some great CS covers there I've never seen.

Well......not strictly true (there is a copy of the UK Colonel Sun and the first Gardner book). It was purely an editorial decision as to where to stop. The Bondian website pretty much covers every different variation of cover from almost every country. As I don't have access to large versions of these images I decided not to include many post Fleming books. I have no desire to feature every single different variation of cover or to repeat what you can find elsewhere. There are many superb later covers out there and it is a pity not to use them but you have to have a cut-off point if you want any sort of structure to the site. I also decided to stop only at Fleming inspired comic strips but extended the paperback section to include movie tie-ins (as they sort of link).Bondian was the first ste I visited in looking for the cover. I tried artofjamesbond.com but their first edition section only had Fleming.

I love Art of James Bond just as much, Red Grant. They're both really great websites, and in my opinion, two of the leading best in the world of James Bond book art!Well......not strictly true (there is a copy of the UK Colonel Sun and the first Gardner book).

The titles and Ken Adam sections are wonderful too. It's too bad Adam is the sorta ignored by many of my fellow younger fans.

Looks kinda like William Shatner.
BTW he'd be fun to see as M or Blofeld.
EDIT: Jokingly, of course.

The objects lying about are all involved in Bond's torture, but the centrepiece is quite clever: the NoseEarWoman represents the senses to be tortured: the ear probing, the (talk of) nasal probing, and the added pain of sexual desire (the sixth sense?).
Anyway, it's an great cover.

That one, along with the British hardcover are my two favorites.I like the cover from British Coronet paperback 3rd edition the best. I like the knife.

It's weird, but it's a good cover. Very artistic.

Pretty weird, isn't it?What the hell is that cover suppose to say about Bond. Looks more like an advert for a local freak show. Women with an ear for her head .
My feeling is they wanted to continue the tradition of having an "artistic" flare to each novel cover, but they wanted to clearly separate the new novels from Chopping paintings of Fleming so they went with this Salvador Dali-like image. Kind of a cool idea and approach, but maybe a little too freaky for most. But, remember, it was 1968 and "freaky" was in vogue.

I really like the Coronet cover for this book. Never seen it for sale in any bookstores around here though, unlike the case for some of the Fleming Coronets.
Qwerty, Coronet has printed two or three editions of Colonel Sun.
Someone correct me if it was three.
As far as I know it's two cos I have both.
The second impression, the cover is Col. Sun with a red sky background.
This is the Pan cover from Bondian.com (now, imagine him on a red background)
I'll try to get a scan in once I can.
And the third edition is the David Scutt knife artwork.

Yeah, I usually refer to the David Scutt artwork when talking about the Coronets.
