Where did you get your copy of Moonraker?

Where are other places to buy a copy?

Is Moonraker in print where you live?

Having troubles finding Moonraker? Post here.

Well, to get the ball rolling...

I have 8 or 9 copies of the novel, Moonraker. The easiest copy to obtain for me was the recent Penguin edition, but I find older editions of it often in used book stores. Or the internet, eBay almost always has many copies of it to buy.

Yes, I also have the Penguin copy. It's much easier to go out and buy it. I recommend going to Borders. Or if your too lazy, I recommend buying it at amazon.com. A great site!

Used books shops, such as the Half-Price Books chain, are also a great place to find Moonraker, and the other Fleming novels, in paperback. I found a 1973 paperback edition in good condition with a good binding. I also found my copy of Colonel Sun, a Bantam edition with cover art by Frank McCarthy, in good condition for $35 there.

You might also find the novels at garage sales and library book sales.

I have the new Penguin edition, bought it and read it last year.

My sister has my Signet edition of Moonraker. :)

Also consider your local public library. The Ian Fleming books can often be found in the fiction section and the staff aren't likely to have gotten rid of the Fleming books like they did with the titles by John Gardner.

Nope....just all those books are listed as stolen/missing, which is the deal for one of the libraries down the street from me.

It's no problem for me, I have the books, but I was kind of astonished to see that the one specific library had at one point 12 or 13 Fleming's, and they all have a Stoeln listing next to them on the computer listings.
