I thought they already had, but I never checked because I don't really care. I should go check 'em out when they come in, though--to see the covers et cetera.

I've heard they are going to publish the books in the U.S., but I'm not sure when. I did hear September, but they've yet to appear in Amazon. I'm keeping an eye on it.

I heard that Penguin will start putting them out toward the end of the year, and that they'll be releasing them four novels at a time. . .interesting since there are thirteen Fleming titles. I don't know exactly when they'll start--I did a search for Fleming today on the Penguin/Putnam site and came up with nothing.

Yes. They're on the way come September. They've already started to appear on Amazon, one at a time.

I did a little searching and I did find CASINO ROYALE and DR.NO on Amazon showing a Sept 2002 release date. No pic yet.

No Bond book? What do you call The Man With The Red Tattoo?

Wait! Don't answer that!

Impossible to find? Not quite. Forget about the local Borders or Amazon. You need to visit a used book store, a flea market, or peruse the online auction sites. Trust me, there are countless copies of Fleming's novels floating around this world of ours in various different editions. I must own at least two copies of each of Fleming's books in used paperback. Find a used book store and start the search. I'm sure you'll find plenty.

Although, it will be nice to be able to purchase them in brand new hardcovers this fall.
