Unfortunately, I'm not as flush as I was in 2008, so I don't know if I can afford to scoop up all these specials as I did with Devil May Care. Might need to pass on this.

Ahahahahahahaha! Did you really take me seriously? Psych! I just pre-ordered. I'm going to have the BEST Bond collection of all the homeless.Unfortunately, I'm not as flush as I was in 2008, so I don't know if I can afford to scoop up all these specials as I did with Devil May Care.

Edit: I just couldn't let you bet the only one so far zencat. Pre-ordered along with the Silverfin edition!

You dont see the DMC with the Bentley inside that sold for £1500 on eBay anymore. Looks like they all went to collectors in the end.
Snap the Hatchards deal up before the booksellers start selling them for £200+.

750 isn't as limited as the 500 DMC editions. Be intresting to see how the collectors market pans out. Jeffery's signature won't be scarce like Faulks.

I don't know... I pre-ordered it too, and I'm glad I did, but I kind of wonder if they overreached the market with an edition of 750. That DMC sold out impossibly quickly on Hatchards. This one's hung on for days now.
And if you're willing and able to pay, you do see the Bentley edition of DMC pop up on Ebay still from time to time... Just keep your eyes peeled!

Your right, surprised to see CB hasn't sold out already also.

I didn't know the DMC one was available at Hatchards, I was always under the impression it was purchased from Waterstones to the people who waited over night on launch day.

Yeah, it was available for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it minute from Hatchards as well. I blinked.

That was exactly my thinking. 3 years from now I'd look back and think, "Why didn't I buy it then?"
Can't wait for it to release.

Yep, just checked eBay and a seller has it for £290 and has got 4 available. So they must have ordered 4 in advance. This reminds of the Hurracine Gold limited edition on the Waterstones website. It was still available to buy for £17 from Waterstones and sellers had them on eBay with a lovely mark up. I don't think these carte blanche editions will fetch as much. Maybe when they first come out, but expect to see that price come down. I am also surprised they haven't sold out yet.

Your right about the fact that it doesn't seem as widely know or reported about this special edition!

Here's a rundown on all the Carte Blanche special editions planned:
http://www.thebookbo...uk-special.html
Can you elaborate on what kind of different cover, the Indies edition is getting?
Also according to this site the price for the indie edition will be 124.99 and not 19.99 like you have listed in the book bond. Either this is profiteering on a gross scale or this indie edition of 1500 will be more expensive.

What I have there is all I know. And what I have came from Bookpoint (the Hachette owned distribution company for Hodder in the UK). I did think that $19.99 price was too good to be true, but that's what they said. Let's see how things shake out in the weeks to come. I should have some more info next week.

BTW, that site you linked to has all their prices grossly marked-up.

Yeah, I feel like that 124.99 price is probably a mark-up judging by the huge discrepancies in the other editions' prices...

That said, I've pre-ordered the Waterstones signed and boxed edition of Carte Blanche and will probably pick up your bog standard UK hardback as a reading copy too.

This does look like a mark up, avoid it and go with Zencats link. The DMC indie editions were sold for the normal cover price, then on eBay they were fetching £200 at first. I had to look hard to get a copy. Seems a lot easier for CB.

Any chance of a simple slipcased edition like those produced for the first four Young Bonds?

Maybe the people who buy that sort of edition have shelves to spare.
Interesting concept, but less 'book-ish' than 'car-ish'.
