It was from Ian Fleming Publications, so it MUST have been the real one.

She said that the US reprint of Live And Let Die would be Fleming's original, uncut version as released in the UK a year or so ago.

So there will be a chapter called Nıgger Heaven and the dialect-heavy conversation between the young couple will be there too

[Mister Asterix]

I was wondering about that since it seemed they had been using the same typesetting in the US and UK Penguin books. Good to hear. Though I suppose that means the colours of the train will be incorrect as they are in Live and Let Die’s UK versions.

p.s. She didn’t happen to say when it was to released since they seemed to have missed their 29 April release date?

[Coop]

Nah, not a dickie bird on when it was coming out. Guess Penguin USA are the ones to email about that.

I don't know about you, Mr A, but I'm dying to see what the new covers are like.

I’m dead already about it.

I'm buried.

And I can't start Moonraker until I read LALD, since I'm reading them for the first time in order.

Better put those two corpses on ice for 5 weeks, as according to a couple of US websites, the next Bond books will be out the 1st of June.

Not a hint of the covers though

[jwheels]

could you post the url's Coop?

I got the same email from her today.

[Mister Asterix]

Five weeks!

I wonder what the problem is? I would guess it’s the cover art since we haven’t seen any trace of it yet. Perhaps the Live and Let Die cover was too un-P.C.

[zencat]

MI6 is reporting the books have been delayed until June. !

>>could you post the url's Coop?<<

Certainly can.
