Very Nice, Zen!!

They look to be the smaller "Mass Market" size, is that right?...

Ooooh. :P

I like, but I already have these 2006 introduction editions. Would someone just like to sell me the box? :D

I'd like to have the box just for the larger image of Vesper. That has always been one of my favorite covers of the set.

I got this set a couple of weeks ago, and I'm very pleased as I've wanted this complete set since it's release. It's being sold through the book clubs that some schools run - it costs

I'm interested in finding this for sure. On a slightly different note, does anyone know if the Penguin audio collection coming out are the same as the earlier recordings read by Rufus Sewell? I notice that Samantha Bond is now included so I was wondering if these were the same.

Interesting. Didn't Ian Oglivy also read the Bond books on tape back in the early 1980s?

Hmm - thanks for that zen.

I am really not one for owning multiple copies of the same book; one issue is usually fine.

But this art work has always capitvated me, I may just have to break the habit of a lifetime.

(I can't sell the other Fleming copies as they are all film tie-in covers)

I just got my box set. It's a beauty!!! What's interesting is the books inside are a little different from the retail versions. They do not have ISBN numbers and are all glossy covers (instead of a mix of glossy and slightly textured). VERY nice. :D

My brother's bought me this set for Christmas, through his book club at work. So, I'm going to have to wait a few weeks before I can dip into them.
