Most recently a Jonathan Cape Diamonds Are Forever 3rd. While not a 1st/1st, I'm happy with getting this edition for now.

A Licence Renewed 1st edition UK hardcover for $25.

After only having my well-read paperback edition for years, I just scored a very nice UK hardback First Edition of John Pearson's James Bond: The Authorised Biography of 007. The book and dustwrapper are in beautiful shape. I'm so pleased.

I recently got that one as well. Took me a while to find one in good condition.

I'm back to working on the Large Print collection. Recently won a Never Send Flowers hardback.

There is a set of Perma Books on Ebay.

LIVE AND LET DIE, TOO HOT TO HANDLE, and DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER.

Check it out. I don't know the seller, but I do have the same set and it is a decent price for all three.

[Qwerty]

I believe that auction is just for the one Moonraker book. I've seen other listings from that seller before, where he just uses one picture to showcase three different books he's selling.

Nice find there.

A Spy/Loved Me World Premiere brochure arrived today.

Splendid condition.

Chuffed.

[Bwanito]

The last things that i have bought on Ebay are two sets of figures from the Spyguise collection made by corgi. (1st set: Bond, Jaws, Blofeld and 2nd set: Bond, M, Scaramanga). They are pretty cool but the gilbert's toy line is always my favorite (honorable mention for the mego's line).

A Pan 1st edition of Octopussy and The Living Daylights most recently.

A Tomorrow Never Dies novelization in the first state. Was looking for one of these for a while.

The Hodder hardcover? If so, that is a toughie. And usually quite expensive. Good on ya'.

No, the paperback. There are two versions of the first edition out there. One credits the story to Feirstein solely on the cover page (the second state) while the harder to come by first state lists Feirstein and the three other writers that worked on it.

The only Benson UK hardcover I still need is Tomorrow Never Dies.

Having read about the Warhead script in another thread, I decided it would be cool to buy all the Bond scripts. Just got a copy of the Dr. No script signed by Connery, Ursula Andress, and Jack Lord. I'll be buying the FRWL script in a few months.

Do use a bit of caution when you buy any scripts. There are two types that are out there, and only one is really desirable.

Ask the seller if it is the "Screenplay" (or "Shooting script") or if it is the "Release Script". The latter is simply a listing of all the dialogue and scenes from the final print of the film that was released in the cinema. You really will not find too much of interest in them.

The former is more desirable in that it would contain additional scenes written, but either not necessarily filmed, and/or edited out of the final print (depending on which counrty it is released in).

RUSSIA, GOLDFINGER, TWICE AND OHMSS are the more difficult to find and have not really been offered anywhere. It is best to stay away from these, unless the seller can assure you that it is a legit screenplay (which they usually are not, for those titles). The others are available, in various drafts.

Hope that helps.

My latest acquisition is the 1965 Esquire Magazine featuring Thunderball and with the Connery cover that I use for my avatar.

I've seen these go for wickedly high prices, but I picked up my copy, which is in rather nice shape for being more than 40 years old, for just $7.

Nice buy, Turn.

Just bid on a classic Ronson lighter. Closes in about 10 minutes and it's pristine circa 1954 in the original box and working order. $22.75.

It'll go great with my new cigarette case by the looks of it.

Thanks, FLEMINGFAN. The Dr. No script I bought was described as 5th draft, August 1, 1962. Should I assume that's the "shooting script"?

Yes, that one is legit on one of the only drafts that has been around (The earlier one, with Doctor No as a monkey on the main villain's shoulder, has yet to surface).

(NOTE: The autographs that are on the covers are pretty useless, as they are just copies. If the seller would cut the price to drop that page, you would make out better.)

Recently i bought two first editions books (Jonathan Cape): "Octopussy and the Living Daylights" and "You only live twice". As you can see i started with the cheapest of the collection (and also one of my favorite YOLT). And to celebrate this, i posted a new topic a few days ago "Can you help me to know better the original James Bond's collecti" in forum literary-Ian Fleming. If you have some informations about this collection or about foreign editions, don't hesitate check it.
