I have searched for info on Raymond's Die Another Day Novelization in First UK Edition on CBn but cant find anything about it.

So, may I ask what is the true first UK edition? I read somewhere it had mistakes in it? The true first one that is. Or is this wrong info?

There were some copies that had some pages cut short. Most of these were junked, but if you can find one, that is the true true first.

Ah, here we go:

That's the article! I only searched the forums. Thank you very much Zencat. Is there anything you dont know about Bond books? Your a bible sir.

The copy I have has all the pages as they should be. No short ones. It's the hard cover one with the below dust jacket and 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 on the copy page.

The first is great to have, but I don't know how rare it's turned out to be. TND is still the rarest Benson book.

I remember ordering my copy from (what was once) Ottakers. When I collected it, I was told that the original order had been sent back as the pages (as mentioned) were not trimmed correctly, how I sometimes wished that the then manager was not so atttentive.

Strange how a faulty book can be collectible. I wonder how badly out of shape the pages were? These people who pulp Firsts make my blood boil. I might start up a group against book pulping.

I have one of the flawed editions. It's very minor.

May I ask if it's a overlap or underlap in page lengh?
