After much thought, I've decided to try to build up my Bond collection by getting a hold of a complete set of John Gardner in UK paperback, (I was aiming at first editions but saw those could get a little pricey).

I'm going to find the cheapest copies I can find at abebooks.com. (Can't thank Blofeld's cat enough for poing that site out, it's the best!)

Hey, I've already got a headstart, I found an old Coronet copy of Never Send Flowers in my the back of my closet the other day.

13 more to go!

I wonder if they'll reprint all of the Gardners now that they've done the Flemings....

I sure hope so. I should get a complete Fleming set by the end of the year. It'd be nice to have the Gardner and Benson books re-printed to match up with them. They'd look great on a shelf, all lined up, matching style spines.
They should reprint Colonel Sun aswell so that the set can be completed.
Does anybody know if this will be a future possibility?
