Good question, ultimately I’d like to do the same thing; have three of them currently.
Maybe once they’re all out they may do some sort of collection?
I just checked and unfortunately it still only offers the paid shipping options no matter if I add 5 or even all 10 Bond books.
It isn’t Black Friday.
But if anything does come up it would be a great opportunity to pick up the whole collection.
The best option I’ve found is to buy them one by one each month or so, then it gives you a chance to go through each new one, revisiting the story and looking at the art. If you buy the whole collection at once you run the risk of letting them just be a collection rather than a series of great books. ;)
Oops I thought they meant you get free shipping on BF *or* your order 5 or more. Oh yeah I’d totally prefer to buy them one at a time like that, but the $30 shipping is a total killer. I’d end up spending 50% more on an already pricey collection if I got them that way.
It’s been smart (or happenstance with the illustrations) to have these come out 2 a year because it’s makes the cost easier to swallow (in spite of the shipping). And it’s also been a joy to look forward to each new release and wonder which one it will be. Also, VERY helpful to have these to look forward to in the long wait for NTTD.
We can probably start the speculation for the next one since I think it’s due late March?
That was my original thinking with regards to the cost of the books individually. Sure with shipping each individual one you're spending more, but are you more likely to spend a huge amount once to get them all? Or $100 every 6 months to collect them as you go? It's basically simple financing.
Early March more likely, first week usually. I hope the pandemic won't delay anything.
I think it will be YOLT, at least I hope it will be, just to complete the Blofeld trilogy.
@SomethingThatAteHim Have you purchased any books from them before?
All the emails and brochures that I receive from them advertise five or more free shipping. Plus you receive a free diary valued at $35 if you by something in Nov - Dec.
Nope, I’ve never purchased anything from them before.
Any part of the Blofeld Trilogy is great! ;) I have OHMSS but not Thunderball, so that's on my list of must-gets before the others, and then hopefully the crown jewel of the series, YOLT, comes next!
Me too. I’ve bought the few which haven’t been presents.
This, 100% this. I have regretted not buying some other things in the past, thinking “I’ll get that later” and then kicking myself when it’s unavailable. I’m not allowing that to happen to me over Fleming’s novels.
If you live in the US, the standard shipping is $30 which is almost half the cost of just one of these books, so unless you have a free shipping code or something, it makes more sense to me to buy several at once to minimize repeating that expense if you plan on collecting them all.
Personally I couldn’t justify spending nearly $100 per book no matter how nice they are. 65 is already pretty steep.
Awesome! How did you get the voucher?
Nice... might have to try this.
Excited for you! Two great novels! Is it the first five that you bought all at once?
