Where did you get your copy of Octopussy & The Living Daylights?

Where are other places to buy a copy?

Is Octopussy & The Living Daylights in print where you live?

Having troubles finding Octopussy & The Living Daylights? Post here.

I got Octopussy and the Living Daylights at a local bookstore. Other American chains here (Borders, etc.) carry it. If you want more 'vintage' versions, a large used bookstore in a big city is a good bet.

My first copy was a Signet printing I believe. I recently obtained the UK 1st hardback edition - one of my personal favourites of the Chopping covers.

Wow! Just (*goes onto a currency converter site*) US$45.00 for a 1st Ed.? I saw CR for 1250 pounds! I know that's expensive for a book, but inexpensive for a 1st. Ed.

Octopussy & The Living Daylights, The Man With The Golden Gun, and You Only Live Twice are easily the three easiest of the Fleming's to obtain in UK 1st hardback edition IMO.
