Since Ian's work is now reprinted could there be a chance for John's contributions to be reprinted by Penguin or am I just wishfully thinking?

I think it's just wishful thinking. With the Fleming reprints, the centenary novel (and whatever is going to follow), the Young Bond series, and the Moneypenny Diaries, I don't think IFP is looking to throw another 14 books into the mix, especially ones that don't fit into their new (old) timeline.

I suspect it unlikely; yet. Perhaps ever.

Shame, really.

i would like to see the other novels other than flemings reprinted because i do plan to read them all and the books by other authors for me is very hard to find

I'd be very happy (and even more so surprised) if they did reprint them.

Unfortunately, wishful thinking on the reprints. However, this does give you the chance to rummage through some used book stores to try & find them. Nothing like getting a hardcover in good condition. In my travels, I seem to always see "No Deals, Mr. Bond" alot. Not sure why, it just seems to be out there more than any of the other Gardner books.

Dude, my Gardner's as so thrashed from constant reading that they remind me of my Flemming books before I got the reprints. I knows it's an outside chance of it happening but really, they hired him to continue the series, at least treat them with a little respect and give them the delux treatment.
