Gotcha - thanks zen.

Just to check (because keeping track of all of these exclusive Bond book releases is becoming harder and harder!), what were the 3 exclusives of the hardback from last year?

From what I know of...

-Bentley edition
-Slipcased edition
-signed edition (Faulks)
-signed edition (Tuuli)

300 Bentley Special Editions (2 versions - Penguin & Doubleday)
500 Red Box Waterstone's exclusives
1500 signed first editions
and
200(?) US editions with signed bookplate.

I don't really consider the Tuuli books "exclusives." These weren't planned, as far as I know. She just did a few London signings so the stores had copies of signed books (actually, she signed the dust jacket). I took my Tuuli signed jacket and put it on my Faulks 1500 for a super first edition.

I'm tempted to pick up this Waterstone's exclusive - how long is the extra content?

14 pages, including two full page photos of Faulks and Fleming.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying regarding the Tuuli ones.

Wish I'd jumped on those US bookplate versions when I'd first heard about them on here months ago. They're proving to be 10 times harder to find compared to the others for some strange reason.

If there are any Sydneysiders out there who haven't read Devil May Care yet, Basement Books near Central Station is selling the paperback for a mere $2. Cue jokes about its actual worth.
