Back to top #3 zencat zencat Commander GCMG Commanding Officers 25814 posts Location:Studio City, CA Posted 28 June 2005 - 03:34 PM Cooool. Great job, Stromberg. Looks like this is the first appearance of this cover anywhere. It's not even on the German Amazon site yet. Good info as well. Very interesting that they would go with the familiar design, yet opt for an the alternate Young Bond logo. But what is that exactly on the "O"? Can't quite tell from this size pic. Looks like this book is going to be a hardcover (or so it says on the Amazon UK site). Seems everyone is getting a HB edition except the UK. Odd.

I have no idea how to translate the expression correctly into English. I'll find out. I think I know exactly what you mean. Pretty sure I have a Bond reference book around here that is in the same (or a similar) style.

Nope, at least the Portuguese version is out for some time now, not sure about others right now. The info on the international use of the logo actually is very "maybe", but it could happen, from what I hear. To give a little mor info on this (didn't have a printed version of it at hand before), the logo is an eye with something that appears to be the legendary "thick black comma of hair", looks a bit like the eye is spying through a keyhole.
