Those look great, BC. I've been waiting for them to release the cover art for OP and TMWTGG.

The best part about this is we now we know for a fact that these books will be released. The last Fleming US reprints stopped at YOLT.

I'm guessing December 2003.

Does anybody know if Octopussy will include 007 in New York, or is it only going to be in the British edition?

Richie Fahey does it again. I can’t wait to have the whole set.

To date the insides of the US editions have been identical to the UK version so I would assume the answer would be yes.

Thats good news.

I think TMWTGG is the best one yet.

I hope they reprint Colonel Sun as well, that would be terrific.

Raymond Benson just let me know of some pretty cool Trivia...

On the upcoming U.S. Penguin edition of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" cover by Richie Fahey, the model is Victoria Zdrok, the same Playboy Playmate who appeared as "herself" in my short story "Midsummer Night's Doom."
_
And a little lesser trivia, on the cover of "You Only Live Twice" is Lynn Thomas, the Playboy Playmate from the issue May 1997 that contained Part 2 of my serialization of "Zero Minus Ten"!
_
The Playboy/Bond connection continues!


Pretty cool, eh?

The US covers are absolutely superb and I really am starting to like them more than the minimalistic UK ones that put style over substance. I might have to see if I can get a few of these because they really do look great.

You guys make me feel so jealous of you!

007 in New York is in the UK edition of Octopussy??? This is the first I've heard of this. How did I miss this? Cooooool. :)

I've never read the short story '007 in New York.' I drool with anticipation.

Yet again, these covers are jaw-droppingly great. Does anyone have any info if all of these novels will be released as one boxed set? I'd rather do that then buy them individually.

When you say "identical" do you really mean it. In other words is this new American paperback edition of LALD the same as the original British version without the editing of a few pages in Chapter 5?

lald is the same for the new US editions so they have all the words (and chapter titles) that the UK has

That would be great. I don't think it is likely though :) , but I don't have any information on this. Does anybody else any info?

I think the TMWTGG is the most "scattered" of the covers and not unified by color like some. The Octopussy is great-notice how the octopus mouth is suggestively placed in the crotch of the green background women!!
