I know it's been discussed before (especially a very high price that was reached) but I'm wondring what the average price is for a First Edition GoldenEye (UK, H&S).

Condition is excellent cover. Actually hard cover has very slightly damanged edge (looks like it's been dropped once I'd say). The paper has yellowed a bit with age.

Apart from that A OK!

The price seems to dance around $300 US, but a damaged one should be less. Beware that it's not a second edition (some dealers will say "FIRST EDITION, second printing") and make sure it's not a bookclub (which will have no Hodder logos).

Just the edge is damanged, but it's only about 3ml worth.

It is definetley a first edition. It has the 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 and it has the H&S logo on the spine.

I should be able to get it cheaper than US$300.

Well I ended up getting it for US$20 anyone who's interested. So I'm quite happy with that :)

My next stop is the first edition Tomorrow Never Dies :)


Good for you, Daniel. Keep building up you're literary collection. You won't regret it. It took me 3 years and over

God no, Blue Eyes. I can't afford to pay for Fleming first editions!
