I bought a 1987 Charter paperback of Moonraker at a used bookstore today and found this homemade bookmark inside...

How cute.

Ha! How cool.

And a little sad. Someone loved Bond and that book at one point. But it found a good home. B)

BTW, if that's the one with the black cover, it's a little tricky to find. Moonraker was the last Charter/Berkley and for whatever reasons it was published years after the other books. Always wondered why.

I thought we were not aloud to disply the EON gun logo on here. B)

Not sure what to make of it. Is it sad? Depends on the age. If it's a 30 something then it's sad.

Joking aside, keep the book, but can I have my bookmark back now Righty!

It is the one with the black cover. It's in horrendous condition but I had a feeling it was tricky to find so I bought it for $3. :)

Are you really the creator of this bookmark, DAN? A Brit wouldn't spell "licence" the American way unless you were a really bad speller as a child (or at age 30). :tdown:

I am an awful speller.

I know I'm analyzing this bookmark way too much but the font "license to kill" is written in reminds me of the Licence to Kill logo on the British VHS edition.
