Your deal, Mr Bond

The website Bondian.com didn't have so much information besides this:
Your Deal, Mr. Bond
By Phillip and Robert King, with a foreword by Zia Mahmood (1997)
A collection of bridge fiction. The title story is a parody in which James Bond impersonates bridge expert Zia Mahmood.
Beside this title, Amis' Book of Bond and Faulks' Pistasche, is there any other books that I've missed with Bond, outside the original serie.
Is there anyone who has read this book and can you tell anything about it. I'm very curious.

The Killing Zone by Jim Hatfield (can be downloaded at Universal Exports)
Avakum Zakhov Vs. 07 by Andrei Gulyashki (a Bulgarian agent kills Bond)
Four "Find Your Fate" books based on AVTAK (Win, Place, or Die by R.L. Stine; Strike It Deadly by Barbara and Scott Siegel; Programmed For Danger by Jean M. Favors; Barracuda Run by Steven Otfinoski)
A couple of small cartoon stories (called, if I remember, Stormbringer and Blackclaw)

Believe there is another one out there called Holmes and 007, but I've yet to obtain a copy. I've only seen one or two on eBay and they both were listed at high prices.
I guess your looking for the original book. Saw it I while ago somewhere and the price tag was around $200+ if I remember right. It has been available on internet - I believe it was on 007Forever.com - but that site is now dead. I believe I have it somewhere saved as a .txt document. I must search for it.

What do you mean by the "original" book, Mr Twilight? I saw one listed on eBay for about $300 (I think).

A limited run of 222? A nice round figure.Bad choise of words. I mean youre not only after the text (it has been available online). You want it in print, I guess.
Holmes and 007
But not as round as the price tag of $225!

Ah, yeah, I'd love to eventually track down an actual copy of it. That $225 seems to fit right in with what I've seen it listed for.

Even though the author had it printed up in book form, it's certainly not a novel.

TKZ is a fan fic, self-published by an egotistical jerk who plagiarized passages from Colone Sun, John Pearson's Auhorized Biography of James Bond and John Gardner's first three 007 novels (including the dedication page from Licence Renewed), as well as Magnum Force and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - for Bond's posthumous funeral at sea. It is NOT a forgotten or lost entry in the official canon - any more than is any other fan fic such as you find posted here or at any other fan site. It was NOT published by Charter books - theirs was just the logo that Hatfield chose to display illegally on the spine of his self-printed jacket covers. It is definitely not worth any asking price - no matter how low - for one of the original copies.
As someone who was unfortunate enough to have read it (albeit already knowing what it was), take it from me, your own fanfic is at least as good, and at least as valid an entry in the official canon.
That's all for now, until this topic surfaces again...

AMC Hornet is also spot on with his burial of Killing Zone. Normally I'm the one who goes off on a diatribe about how horrid the thing is, and it is good to see that torch passed to a new generation of Hatfield "truthers."
This is usually the part of these threads where I bring up Alligator and Toadstool by the Harvard Lampoon, Sol Weinstein's books, and naturally, "Bond Strikes Camp."

Sol Weinstein's Isreal Bond Oy-Oy-Seven stories were brilliant. I used to have a copy of Loxfinger, which my ex-girlfriend managed to keep (a small price to pay, I suppose). Apart from part one of In the Service of His Majesty, the Queen in a vintage Playboy, I've never come across any other entries.
They're worth reading, when you can find them.

Got them all except Toadstool which I haven't heard of before. Unfortunately I haven't read any but one of the Sol Weinstein books, they're in my "to read" bookshelf, which is going to take me well into retirement.This is usually the part of these threads where I bring up Alligator and Toadstool by the Harvard Lampoon, Sol Weinstein's books, and naturally, "Bond Strikes Camp."
