Great cover love that photo of George
It's an excellent book. As is the one on TLD by same author.
That book is next on my list.
Actually neither of mine came with film, had to get it. That was right before that kind of film was phased out. :)) But that pic does show nearly everything I got from it. Some of the other stuff like those headsets you could get in stores. Unfortunately the sticker on my camera was upside down so I had to peel it off and put it the right way. Q wasn't happy.
Happy birthday!
Yes, I have them all except Casino Royale. Everything from FRWL onwards is relatively easy to get. The first four are a little more expensive. I only have a few first editions. Most later printings, but they look great on the shelf!
The OHMSS book is an essential piece of Bondage. Helfstein compiled it in a compelling fashion and the detail and inside stories are excellent. He did one of my other favourites TLD as well. Both great fun, but the OHMSS tale is especially good.
Sounds great. I only have paperbacks at the moment. Looking to make a start on hardbacks.
I saw on eBay a 1st edition Moonraker is bid up to £1700 so far.
I'm also collecting the folio society hardcovers in the slip cases with wonderful artwork by Fay dalton. I bought a bunch of them at once to save on shipping costs. They are the final collections of the Fleming novels I'll get. Wonderful editions.

My FRWL copy is from that series of prints.
Nothing very interesting in it.

These are Jonathan Cape first editions:
These are Book Club/Reprint Society:
This was published in 1994 and I have no idea what is going on with that cover. Nice homage to, er, Licence to Kill:
I don't think I paid more than £1 for anything here. Those were the days!
Now for some weirdness. When I was taking these photos, I found something folded up in the dustjacket of Thunderball:
The words to Green Grow The Rushes, typewritten in green, and a false moustache. WHAT.
I would rather cut off my pinkie yakuza style than to sell that one :p
Also a sgd leaflet (Andress , Gayson , LeWars , van der Syl......only one missing is Zena , bummer)
Oh, and hold onto that moustache- it may be a screen-used prop from OP!
They had some of my favourite cover designs - I love that Thunderball.
Ha! :D
My mum also found a lot of the books pictured for me - collecting runs in the family.
The message was obviously meant to be decoded (note the capital 'P' in "APostles") and surely provides instructions for a covert operation. The false mustache, of course, was for the recipient to wear during said operation. Whoever was meant to receive this clearly never did, which causes me great worry as to the fate of the free world. But at least their botch-up has made for an amusing story.
Interesting! Do you know if any of those books came with a dust jacket?
I am pretty sure none of them did.
The CD is from a deleted scene: Jinx uses her phone to break into Dr. Alvarez' safe and steal the disc.
