It can mean many things; it will accrue in value, it will add weightyness to your bookshelf, it will become the holy grail book of the collecting future..
All of which no one knows.
But personally, I doubt it on all fronts.
But then again, if you ask zencat he could tell you differently - he is the man who knows books here.

Sounds like the international paperback edition. They're typically produced for the Asia and Pacific region, as well as being sold in airports all over the world.Greetings from beautiful Berlin! A quick query for you collectors. I have noticed an English language quality sized paperback edition of DMC in bookshops in the German airport and in the english language sections of bookshops in Berlin. Is this edition a small run or collectible in your esteemed estimations? Danke!

It seems like the problem with these international edition Bond books is that they're so overlooked by most collectors so they're even more difficult to track down at times.

Ooooo...I'd like to have a that.Saw a fifth printing copy of this in Borders at Heathrow yesterday and noticed it had a band across the bottom of the cover saying "The Number 1 Bestseller", while the back cover was devoted entirely to about a dozen excerpts from reviews praising the novel.

Most people have shelves for all their books. Do you find yourself having shelves for your book (title)?

I actually know a collector who arranges his collection that way, all editions of the same tile on one shelf. Looks kind of cool. One full shelf of CR from 1953 to 2008. Neat to see the evolution at a glance....bringing the total to 12, 13?

Grief, every single different cover rendition for one title? That must be quite amazing.I actually know a collector who arranges his collection that way, all editions of the same tile on one shelf.

And is this the same for all 14 titles, indeed does it follow through for the Gardners etc.?

Yes, I believe so, but this was a collection I saw in the 80s, so there weren't that many Gardners at the time. (BTW, this is Michael Van Blaicums collection I'm taking about, Simon. You may know him?)Grief, every single different cover rendition for one title?

I'm sort of fascinated with this idea. Part of the fun of having a large collection and arranging it. I might try this with just CR and see how it looks.
