I was just curious about the additions of the Ian Fleming Bond books. I just had my 007 books sent from home and noticed that my copy of The Man with the Golden Gun is a 1st addition paperback. I have no intention of selling the book, but I was interested how much it might be worth. Anyone have any ideas. I must say getting the books in the mail including some that I had forgotten of, a spoof called Alligator, was amazing. I can't wait until the Blades Library Book Club moves to the next novel.

Do a search under www.abebooks.com and see what the going prices are.

Should give you the best idea if such an edition is listed - dealers are internationally based.

"Alligator" is worth more than your TMWTGG paperback, Ry. With the exception of a the first UK paperback of OHMSS, later Fleming paperbacks aren

Thanks Simon and Zencat. I figured they probably weren't really worth anything, but what the heck I thought I would ask. Thanks again!

Check out the price of "Alligator" on ABE, Ry. You could have something there.

Okay, I just checked for you and I could find only one copy selling for $30. Not bad.

Zen you're right that not too bad at all. I'll probably hang onto the copy for now. I haven't read it in years, but if I remember correctly it wasn't that funny. Thanks for looking I appreciate it.
