Just got mine from Hatchards. No 147. Very nice.

Hatchards did the best job of packaging I've ever seen. Book was in a bag inside full bubble wrap two times over. Then in a sealed box. Then in a second sealed box. The book arrived flawless (unlike my BF Collectors Ed from eBay which picked up a bump in shipping).

Thank you Hatcahrds.

Excellent! That should mean that mine is on the way too!

Opened it last night. Excellent packing as Zencat also noted. Absolutely mint condition. Number 597.

I think I have a new favorite bookseller!

Just got mine - my first Young Bond Limited Collector's Edition - from Hatchard's: #205.

Hatchards did the best job of packaging I've ever seen. Book was in a bag inside full bubble wrap two times over. Then in a sealed box. Then in a second sealed box. The book arrived flawless (unlike my BF Collectors Ed from eBay which picked up a bump in shipping).

Thank you Hatcahrds.

Couldn't agree more - beautifully packaged, my Double or Die arrived "in pristine condition". I'll be ordering my Hurricane Gold Limited Collector's Edition from them ASAP!

Looks like Hatchards have finally sold out of their Double or Die Limited Collectors Edition stock (I did still see a couple resting on Waterstone's bookshelves in London, though).

Hurricane Gold can still be ordered from Hatchards.
