Did I pay way too much? I really wanted to win that auction because I thought it would be hard to find somewhere else.

Righty, if you felt okay about what you paid, then don't worry about it. If you think your $17 plus shipping is worth it, then just enjoy the book. The key to eBay is not going overboard with what you pay. I set limits with what I will pay for an item or items and sticking to it.

As far as the best making-of books, I was lucky enough to complete all of them from LTK through DAD recently. These are great collectibles.

I like the Making of TND the best and the best magazine is the James Bond Technical Journal, which was basically the TND behind-the-scenes. What I dislike about the official making-of books is when they do a whole synopsis of the movie. What a waste of space. They could use that for more information or pictures or whatever.

You didn't pay too much. This is the harder to find UK edition (even I don't own a copy) and the condition looks terrific. I would pay up to $20 for a MINT condition copy myself. Congrats.

Well righty and zen, knock yourselves out with this little list.

.......and if that search doesn't work, type out "live and let die" and roger moore, and watch them all line up.

........sorry, it didn't work.

Go to www.abebooks.com and have a look.

There are some really cool/good deals on there!

Thanks Simon. I've been sort of lazy about picking up the UK edition. I also should upgrade my US edition. Thanks for the link.

....There's actually another thread about this book, but I can't locate it just yet.

This is the thread I was trying to find earlier. I have no reason to dispute mccartney007 about Moore not actually writing the book.

"They" nail you with the shipping costs...

they will charge you a higher shipping cost.. then ship it as cheap as they can and pocket the extra $2
