Thread title says it all.

I've only got most of the Penguin USA paperbacks.

The cover art is laughable.

I'm working on getting the UK Centenary hardbacks.

[Mark_Hazard]

Hardbacks - all the Jonathan Cape editions - although none of them are 1st editions (with the exception of Octopussy & The Living Daylights - anyone ever seen a 2nd edition?), and the UK Book Club editions. Can't get at them at the moment, but I also have some US hardbacks by at least two publishers.

Paperbacks - I have all the Pan covers and most editions of same, all the Panther/Granada/Triad covers and most of the Coronet covers, a few Bulls-Eye/Hutchinson Educational. Penguin (and Puffin - Chitty) editions make up the tail end.

Amongst all these there are also a few foreign editions - although no complete sets - Signet, Garzanti, Zebra, Ullstein, Plon, Bruna & Zoon, Gallimard, Hjemmet, Grafisk Forlag, Dell, Phoenix Shocker, Presses, Scherz, Bantam, Scholastic School Services, Jove, Goldmann, Berkley, Tay, Mondadori, Zwarte Beertjes - those are the ones I can see on my book shelves.

First editions of all of them, multiple paperback sets of varying vintages.

I have a few hardback first editions; then a LOT of the UK pan paperback printings (my fave era of Bond paperbacks); I think a complete set of the late 70s Triads...
A complete set of US Signets...and a bunch of others scattered around...

I've got all of the Penguin paperbacks; I love the cover art.

[Tybre]

All of mine are the Penguin paperbacks with the little centenary stamp.

[00Twelve]

Got the old paperback signets for CR, LALD, DAF, FRWL, DN, TB, TSWLM, and OHMSS.

Got the 80s "James Bond Library" hardbacks for MR & GF.

Got the newer penguin edition of FYEO.

Got some hardback copy (old, but can't remember which edition) of YOLT.

My TMWTGG and OP/TLD editions are also older hardbacks, but can't recall exactly which ones.

To complete the collection, my Thrilling Cities copy (w/ Agent 007 in NY) is another paperback Signet.

Impressive, Jim.

Complete sets of: the UK Centenary hardcovers, the UK Richie Fahey paperbacks (housed inside a Penguin Centenary Collection box) and those 2002 UK paperbacks with the abstract photography covers.

[Qwerty]

Lots. I'm actually trying to organize some of them now finally.

I'm fortunate to own some CApe firsts including LALD, FRWL, FYEO, TB,, OHMSS, YOLT, O&TLD. I started collecting just a few years ago so i have paid failry high prices for these-no regrets however as the prices creep up constantly and it's a great feeling knowing you own some very rare volumes that will make great investments and family heirlooms.

My aim is to continue adding slowly to my first editions (TMWTGG, TSWLM, DN, GF). Then there comes a price barrier for MR and DAF which will be hard to overcome. Getting a CR first is well impossible so i will have to settle for a second or third printing.

After i complete my firsts collection i will probably start hunting down the vintage PAN paperbacks.

I also own the recent Fahey paperback editions and the CR hardcover of the recent Centenary editions.

[OmarB]

All of mine are the recent paperbacks with the new art, not as recent as to have the Centenary marker though. My dad had really old ones from when they were actually new books though.

[DAN LIGHTER]

I have the recent retro Penguin editions, a couple of Pan’s and a first edition/second printing of You Only Live Twice and a first Octopussy/Living Daylights.

Anyone with a First Edition of Casino Royale I would like to shake their hand, pull them in close, knee them in the groin and run away with their copy tucked firmly under my armpit.

[jimbo bond 007]

Too many paperbacks to list, so here is a link to my collection http://www.toysofbon...nson_books.html

I'm trying to improve my collection of hardbacks at the moment, as I only have a few.
