Where did you get your copy of For Your Eyes Only?

Where are other places to buy a copy?

Is For Your Eyes Only in print where you live?

I didn't own a previous paperback copy of For Your Eyes Only, so I bought the new Penguin copy from Amazon.co.uk

I'm not a big fan on the cover - but the formatting of the book was nicely done.

I found my first, an American Signet I believe at a used book store. I've then gotten others such as the Pan and Penguin editions. I love the Cape hardcover jacket and would love to someday own it.

Shame that it's like Thunderball and often considerably more than the somewhat easier to obtain The Spy Who Loved Me and onwards.

My library has all of the books except for The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Octopussy and The Living Daylights, but luckily I own the mall. The local library is the greatest resource of all... :)
