Doesn't seem like they're stocking it, but they had another one on order for someone else.
Should receive it in a few weeks' time.

Yeah, Dark, you're right. i worked at a Borders store for two years in the Genre Fiction Section and I did notice that the U.S. editions of paperbacks were always of inferior quality compared to the U.K. editions. The spines on the U.S. paperbacks were always peeling off and pages would sometimes fall out. You could really only read the book once.
After my last post, I spent my lunch break at a Dymocks Bookstore in Collins St and lo and behold, there was TMWTRT sitting up on the shelf. Eighteen dollars and ninety-five cents later, it was in my hand. So it looks like it has arrived.
I must confess that I have all the Benson books now, but have yet to read any of them.
Read this one slowly, gang. It may be a long time (if ever) before another Bond novel comes out.
Read it and weep.

I'm all but giving up hope on the four or five Gardners I'm missing.

Have you seen anywhere stock the U.K. paperback edition of The Facts Of Death? After I get The Man With The Red Tattoo, it'll be the only Benson I'm missing.

Hey, Dark, which Gardners are you missing? I might just have a spare, since I bought the first six of them in hardcover when they came out. Oh, hell, I'm showing my age here.

Which store, Brendan?
It got it at the collins bookstore at robina for $17. I remember a while ago they had both High Time To Kill and Doubleshot on shelf as well. Ive also ordered a few fleming books from there as well (this was before they were re-released :mad:. I remember it took me a year to search and buy the whole collection, and then a few months later i hear they're being re-released)

I'm after U.K. paperbacks of Win, Lose Or Die, The Man From Barbarossa, SeaFire, Cold and The Facts Of Death.
Any help in acquiring them would be very much appreciated!

Sorry, Dark, I've got "Licence Renewed" (UK paperback) and "No Deals, Mr. Bond" (US paperback) , but I'll keep my eyes peeled for the ones you need. You just never know.
