UPDATE: BN.com now shows the release date of OHMSS, YOLT, and TSWLM as September 28. An extra month - dang it!

Just got notice from BN.com that my books have shipped -- a month and a half early!

Thanks for the info. Instead of waiting on Amazon, I just ordered them from B&N.

Just got them Saturday, and they look great. Only two more to go!!!

(Can anyone explain to me why I'm so excited about this? I mean I have them all already. I'm not even gonna read these, except for LALD, because I know they changed some stuff. But really, I'm a grown man, with 2 kids, and I'm acting like a child with a new toy. I can't wait to get the last 2, just so that I can put them on my shelf, in order, and never touch them again. Actually that's not true. Occasionally I do take them out and look at them. LOOK at them! What the Hell is wrong with me???)

Simple. You are a "Collector."

Got mine today. Beauties. I'm off to the vault...

Perhaps it isn't what I should really be looking at () but I noticed that you have the same scanner as I do, zencat. What a coincidence!

Anyway, I can't wait to get my hands on the new reissues. It gets me really excited when I pick one up in the store, and leaves me heartbroken when I don't buy it, for I'll have to save up a ton of dough, so to speak, to buy them all.

I've always used HP scanners (at home and work) and have never had the need to think of other brands.

[Bond111]

Funny how this thread turned from a discussion of the Bond books to a discussion of computer scanners.

[Blofeld's Cat]

OK then.

So when is The Man With The Golden Gun and Octopussy and The Living Daylights and 007 In New York likely to be released?

[zencat]

It's a pretty good scanner. It took a while for them to release software for O.S. X (that interfaces with Photoshop), but now that they have, it works like a dream.

No word yet on TMWTGG and OPATLDA007INY.

[Jriv71]

Screw that. I tried calling that 718 number on the piece of paper in the upper right of the photo, (since 718 is a N.Y. area code) hoping it was the number for the security company in charge of guarding the vault, in case I'm ever in Marina del Rey late at night.

No dice.

[zencat]

Whoops! Think I have to do a little touch up on that pic.

[zencat]

There. Done. What 718 number?

Hope you wrote it down.

[Jriv71]

Yes, I----D'OH!

Funny that the Penguin logo is stuck half way up the OHMSS book, the rest are in a corner.

Looks a little lost up there.
