Ditto, as well.
I can't stand Paperbacks anymore.

I don't think I'll be interested in the Young Bond series.

Yes, it has to be both. Paperback because, I suppose, it will be the true first edition (and give an earlier chance to read) and then hardback because it fits with the rest of the collection.

I'll be skipping it, unless tempted by some very good reviews, on CBn and elsewhere, in which case I'll buy the paperback.

I will buy both also, but most definately the trade paperback - you know the whole two months earlier thing.

I think I'd wait until I get response from you experts.
Unfortunately, I'm not an avid reader.
if it's good or bad with you guy's, it'd be pretty much the same for me.
I need to be educated by the Fleming Novels before I start reading anything else.
All the best,
Cheers,
C. Higson.

Most definitely check out James Bond Junior 003 1/2 to compare.

Not at all. I know I will be, I'm hoping this new series is a huge improvement. The ideals are similar enough.

James Bond Junior 003 1/2 is not James Bond 007 as a little kid. It is his nephew. Charlie Higson's Young Bond is James Bond 007 as a little kid. I just wanted to clear that up.

Qwerty has explained to me the difference.

Oh, certainly. Seeing as these two are pretty much the closest in concept to eachother, they'll make interesting books to compare and contrast.

I'll be skipping it, unless tempted by some very good reviews, on CBn and elsewhere, in which case I'll buy the paperback.
At this point I'd have to say that I'd buy whichever edition has the softest pages and is most likely to give me that all-over-fresh-clean feeling when I use it.

LOL!
Guess that leaves the audio book out then.

May I suggest Casino Royale? (Why not start with the first one?) And may I further suggest that you read it with an open mind, remembering that it was first published in 1954?
The Fleming books are definitely where it's at...
