Where did you get your copy of Live & Let Die?

Where are other places to buy a copy?

Is Live & Let Die in print where you live?

Having troubles finding Live & Let Die? Post here.

For US readers who are still waiting for the release of Live & Let Die, why not try to get your hands on a UK version? The UK version leaves some passages that were editted out in the US version.

I picked mine up at Amazon.co.uk. I think I've got a copy already somewhere in the loft...but can't really get up there at the moment, so it was a good excuse to buy the new Penguin edition.

I really love the type in the book, as well as the general format.

I actually got it from a friend who had found it very cheap somewhere. It was an old copy from the 60's.

Well, I live in Sweden and if you have a hard time finding this book here you can find it in English here...
www.adlibris.se
www.datorbokhandeln.se

...or in Swedish here:
www.tradera.com

I treated myself to my most expensive Christmas present ever - A Live and Let Die, J Cape 1st edition/1st impression/1st state without the jacket designer credit on the dustwrapper. Apparently only about 500-100 of these 1st state d/w were printed.

It was better to dive in and get it now than wait. As it was purchased at an English auction house it also came with provenance, which is even better.

Certainly one I'd love to someday get myself as well.
