According to Amazon, maybe...

Initial data says the publisher's Puffin, so they're not likely to be the oft-rumoured "adult editions".

Good find. They would most likely want to reproduce due to the 50th Anniversary year. I think we are in for a lot of Bond products in the up coming year.

Well, next year is the 50th anniversary of the film series. Not sure that's too much of a milestone for the people at IFP. I'd guess it's just time to give the books a bit of a visual refresh.

I would of just thought they would want to cash in on any Bond big milestones. We'll see though.

Hopfully there are really a lot of Bond products next year, since it is the 50th Anniversary. Well here in the U.S., I would think you people in UK have better luck with that even when it not the 50th Anniversary or there no new Bond film out.

I would like to see stuff of any kind in stores like Target, Hot Topic, Sears, JCPennys, FYE and Best Buy. We can't even find stuff like T-shirts, key chains, comic books, shot glass, toy cars, collertor nonsport cards, ball caps, cheaper or very expensive action figures, playing cards, pocket flshlight, bubble heads, magazine special and so on.

Seem a very creditable series of covers.

Would be interested to hear what the graphics guys on the boards think of them.

I prefer the original UK covers, but these are pretty good for reprints.

Those new Young Bond cover art for the new reprints look very nice. They are even good enough to be mini posters sold along other posters teens buy. But it look to be it might be something we might not get here in the U.S.. Amazon's U.S. site don't have any kind of reprints listed for next year. So we are might not be getting those nice covers or some else that just as good or not so good, but ok.

The unabridged versions were available around the time of each book's release, but this appears to be somewhat new packaging and I don't recall these being available on Amazon. Thanks for the heads up.
