I believe these two omnibuses (published by Avenel) were released in 1987 and 1989, respectively.
Attached is a picture of the one with the red cover.

I don't know if anybody important has been approached about this but I'm working on getting GardnerRenewed.org up and running. It's not going to be anything fancy but it'll be a good headquarters for the campaign. It'll have links to this thread/poll, Twitter, and have information on what this campaign wants to achieve.I believe these two omnibuses (published by Avenel) were released in 1987 and 1989, respectively.

I re-read this article by Jeremy Duns who was lucky enough to interview John Gardner http://www.jeremydun.../LITERATURE.htm
One thing I didn't know was that the first Boysie Oakes novel The Liquidator John wrote became a film in 1965 starring Rod Taylor called by the same name as the novel. The challenge of writing Bond becomes a little harder with this in hindsight. Your a respected author in your own right with a film adaption under your belt, so writing Bond must have been a real gamble for him. From what I have read of his Bond books he did a champion job.
Am I the only person who didn't know this?

Thanks, DAN. The Boysie Oakes books are terrific fun, and I highly recommend them. Not seen The Liquidator, but Shirley Bassey did the song!

You must be quite an authority on John Gardner's work then SNF.
One question I have is, how much of Gardner's Bond Novels got put into the films. I hope this isnt off topic.

Well guys for the last 30 odd years I have been a professional graphic designer.
These days I design holograms (security and otherwise) for a living, but I cut my teeth so to speak in publishing and advertising. Even designed a few of my Father's book jackets in the past. If I get a moment I will see what I can do. No promises as my life recently has become rather hectic, so if someone comes up with something before I do run with it!

Hadn't realised Gardner was so anti-Benson, Spy.
"I was appalled they had chosen an American".
