From what I've read somewhere today (sorry, can't find it right now) it was also the most reviewed book of the last weekend. But that's hardly surprising considering the hype.

Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between Hatchards Ltd edition (500 copies) sold for 100 pounds and the Waterstone Ltd Edition (1000 copies) also sold for 100 pounds

Same book. We've been calling it the "red case" limited edition. 500 copies. Hatchards got some. Waterstones got some.Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between Hatchards Ltd edition (500 copies) sold for 100 pounds and the Waterstone Ltd Edition (1000 copies) also sold for 100 pounds

The thing that worries me is, I hope all the non literature fans don’t think this bland novel is as good as it gets, and hopefully go back to the real thing.well this pretty much guarantees another book eh?

'Devil May Care' Is Penguin's All Time High, 007 novel is publisher's fastest selling hardback fiction title
Does the above title tell all?
I've been buying books for about 45 years, and until Penguin re-published the Fleming books in hardback a few years ago, I had never noticed anything by them in hardback before. To me, Penguin has always been a paperback publisher, so, have they even published that many hardbacks?

That's a very good idea with good reasoning behind it. I like it, we'd get more stories as well.I say they should do a short story collection, ala For Your Eyes Only, with each story written by a different author -- we get Nick Hornby's Bond, then Bret Easton Ellis' Bond, then Clive Barker's, etc. Then maybe the fans won't get so outraged that it does or doesn't advance the character from Fleming's vision, and can simply enjoy contrasting and comparing the different takes.

I love the idea, but is a short story collection likely to be a chart topper? I can't imagine so, but are there any recent examples?I say they should do a short story collection, ala For Your Eyes Only, with each story written by a different author -- we get Nick Hornby's Bond, then Bret Easton Ellis' Bond, then Clive Barker's, etc. Then maybe the fans won't get so outraged that it does or doesn't advance the character from Fleming's vision, and can simply enjoy contrasting and comparing the different takes.
