At first I was disappointed to hear this was going to be a hardcover because I love how the German paperbacks look on the shelf. But judging from the image, it may still look fine. Thanks for the scoop, stromberg.

From what I know, this one will have the same size as the other German YBs, so it'll be a better fit on the shelf, unlike the UK 'Hurricane Gold', which is a bit bigger and looks a bit awkward next to the other ones.

I doubt that it'll look as yellow as in the image, more like the UK edition. The one in the pic is just a mock up for printing purposes.

Good. Size is what really matters.

When talking about books.

Added a better picture. The original one was a photo I took from their catalogue due to lack of a scanner on the weekend. The new ones are proper scans.

Ooooo...even better.

I love these editions. These are the YB books I have on display in my living room with my DVDs. They look great as a set and I like that "James Bond" is very prominent on the spines. I also like that, for the first two books, they used an author pic of Charlie that I took.

Time to pre-order.

Nice pics, zen. All the Hurricane Gold books are going to look identical!
