Where did you get your copy of Doctor No?

Where are other places to buy a copy?

Is Doctor No in print where you live?

Having troubles finding Doctor No? Post here.

I recieved my first copy of Doctor No, I believe along with some others from a used book store. I believe it was one of the Signet editions. I now have collected quite a few versions and look for any I don't have. I'd like to someday get the original Jonathan Cape.

This book is pretty easy to find, check amazon anytime for the new Penguin edition or eBay for older copies.

For those who are interested, Play.com now sell books. They're about the same price as Amazon and postage is free on all items.

My Aunt was able to pick up a hardback copy that turned out to be from "The Book Club" edition. Unfortunately, it didn't have a dust jacket :)

Believe it or not, there were Bond books publishe in Israel. These were Hungarian translations and were pressed in Haifa in the early 60s. These books are incerdibly rare. I once saw Goldfinger at a collector and the back cover promised the publication For Your Eyes Only as well, but it was never completed methinks.

On topic - I have a spare copy of Dr. No if anybody needs it. It's a paperback and the cover is the one with the spiderwebs.

No, this is just an older thread. We've covered all novels from Casino Royale to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service - which you can review from the archived threads in a pinned topic here: http://debrief.comma...showtopic=26772

I got all of the Fleming books in a set. It ended up costing me only $12 as well and they were brand new.
