***INCOMING TRANSMISSION***TOP SECRET***YOUR EYES ONLY****

Att: [dark],
I was taking a quick look at www.ianfleming.org (which used to be known as Mr kiss kiss bang bang, but that's another story) and I had a peek at the Bond Store to see if any Gardner books are still available.
Anyway, this led me to Amazon.com.uk which still carries "Cold" and "The Facts of Death".
And that's when I remembered that you were after these two books.
How accurate or current this info is...I have no idea. But it's well worth a look if you are still chasing these titles.
I'll have to get around to ordering a few myself when I get the chance.
Good luck, 007....

Thought I'd give it a 'secret message' touch.:cool:

P.S.- I really should be working on my Bond script rather than playing spy games like these.

Yeah, CBn keeps me busy enough. Although, from time to time, I tend to check out www.mi6.co.uk. Now that is a well put-together website also.

Copy you Vodka!

I'm fussy. :)

I'm collecting the U.K. paperbacks of the books. Both Cold and The Facts of Death only have limited availability at Amazon.co.uk, which means the book is out-of-print.

I'll just have to keep hunting around in bookstores for them [and on eBay]. There's a copy of Cold going on there now, but the last one ended up going for almost $30 in paperback.

Thanks, though! I really appreciate it! :)

No problem. I too prefer the UK paperbacks. They don't tend to fall apart the way U.S. paperbacks do.
Good luck.

its a dear shame ianfleming.org fell by the way side, they can be in large part credited to my love of TWINE due to their non-spoiler but still packed coverage.

Oh, forgot to mention. IanFleming.org is still called Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

WHOA!

The book went for over $42!

Fingers crossed I'll simply come across it in a second-hand bookstore.
