If there aren't any signs of Gardner or Benson reprints, I doubt we'll ever see this one again. They probably wouldn't want it around with the current Young Bond series.

My UK edition of this book is a 1974 reprint. It still has the same cover artwork as the 1967 version but it does at least show it was reprinted once in the UK.
I very much doubt it will ever get reprinted again because as said it may cause a little confusion with the current Young Bond series.

Interesting. I would have thought this one would have been quickly forgotten after being published in 1967.

Yesterday I received a package with the book from the US. In great condition I must add. Thought it should be more difficult to find but it wasn't so hard. Well. at last I have it.

I find the US edition to be pretty easy to come by. There are often several on eBay and/or abebooks.

Abebooks in my case. Ebay had nothing when I searched while Abebooks had several options to choose from but thats different from day to day.

JC reprinted it one last time in '78. They had a policy of reprinting books which they considered especially good even if they hadn't been successful. There was a second US printing the same year it came out but interestingly enough, I've never found any evidence the book was ever available in paperback in English.
