Why couldn't they keep it simple like the FEL's or the Higson books.
Still, worth considering.

Dear David Schofield,
Thank you for your recent enquiry. Unfortunately, we have now pre-sold
our entire allocation of the special edition of 'Devil May Care'. I do
apologise for any disappointment caused.
Yours,

I presume speculators have been in and bought the lot to stick them of Abe and ebay at inflated prices!!
What is the bloody point!!!! these books even being offered by the stores to the public????

Dear David Schofield,
Thank you for your recent e-mail. We put these books onto our website
last week and sent out an e-mail to our E-Mail Alert List on Saturday.
They had all sold by first thing Tuesday morning. I am afraid that there
will not be any spares.
Yours,

UGH.
Guess it will have to be eBay then.
But wow. The entire print run gone just like that? Seems somewhat telling of how the collecting niche of booksellers and buyers is going to be treating this Bond novel.

This bites.

Perhaps Mark Hammett should have put some sort of limit per each order. Then more people would have a chance of owning one instead of being forced to bid at grotesquely inflated prices.

It is indeed frustrating that they've sold out already. Still, comforting to know there seems to be a healthy amount of interest in this book.

I had my mum phoning around a few places yesterday but they had all sold out already ahhhh.
Wrt buying the Bentley edition not now I see copies approaching 1500 pounds on Ebay, i think in the short term they will only get more expensive.
