How old were you when you first read the James Bond novel, Colonel Sun? Anything stand out about it to you? Was it one of the first Bond novels/collections you had ever read?
I am a bit confused by the 'short story collection' reference, but I was 18 when I read COLONEL SUN. It was a bit of a literary event at that time.

I already had Pan copies of the Fleming books, but with the list on the dj I asked if the Fleming Capes were still available, to my surprise they were, so I set about buying Cape versions of all the Flemings - the only other 1st I got at this time was Octopussy, in fact I've never seen a second - a few years ago a local remainder shop (The Works) was selling the Cape Octopussy and these were 1sts too.
I was very disappointed that the second Amis Bond novel never came to fruition as I really enjoyed CS. I also remember collecting the Daily Express serialisation, with pictures by Robb, which for some idiot reason I later disposed of.
