So with the help of this thread I scored a large print NLF that I never knew exsisted. You see the US Landmark edition all over the place, but check out the cover of this Chivers UK harcover edition. Nice!

Just waiting for my COLD and my Isis WLOD and I'll do the "master shot."

Whoa, wait, there's an ISIS WLOD too? Is that (along with the new Nobody Lives Forever you found) hardback or paperback?

I've added those into the list in my first post - if there's any others I forgot John, please add them in, I'd love for this to be the most complete checklist. :)

The new NLF is I have is a hardback with dust jacket...not sure yet what the Isis WLOD is. I'll let you know when it arrives (and I'll post a scan).

I didn't know these existed until I saw the Chivers NLF mentioned in this thread. I discoverd the WLOD while looking around.

Very cool. (This would make a great main-pager possibly, the list I've put together, your covers, etc...)

Just got my large print COLD in the mail. Not only is the book in Mint condition (very tricky with large prints), but I'm interested to see it uses the Book 1 Book 2 structure of the US edition, while using the artwork and title of the UK. Makes this large print all the more unique.

BTW, this COLD is a hardcover by Isis/Compass Press. You have a paperback listed on your main list, Qwerty, but I'm not sure if it was ever done as a paperback.

Gotcha, amended.

Now...the master shot? :) (Or a mainpager in line with the list perhaps?) Either way, it'll be very cool. :)

Check it out. I was about to give up hope on this one, but it arrived today. Nice, eh? Commander Bond indeed (although, technically, this is Captain Bond).

I'll have to go to my storage to arrange my "master shot" (which I might do in the storage locker itself). Try to get to it ASAP.

Yes, that's the style used for the The Man From Barbarossa large print as well as the Goldfinger large print too.

Books, and not audiobooks, I know of Goldfinger, Nobody Lives Forever, and The Man From Barbarossa. There may be more.

Finally have it all figured out. This is as complete a list as it stands: it is also visible in the first post in this thread.

Edited.

I've been keeping an eye out for this one on eBay. I just love that artwork.
