    Moonraker was waiting for me under the Christmas tree. Would have preferred LALD so I can read them in order, but looking forward to reading it none the less.

    I'm hoping so. I'm really looking forward to the FYEO illustrations.

    Yeah based on my calculations we should get the announcement for a new release on wednesday the 26th, with the release one week later on the 4th of march. Both might happen a week later though. But we won't have to wait much longer.

    Personally i would be happy with FYEO. But it could also be TSWLM.

    Some confirmation:

    Well, uhh, i guess i am back then. Happy 5000th post to me (which was supposed to be my NTTD review)

    On a positive note, Folio is releasing the next Fleming novel next wednesday.
    So keep your wallets ready. Now that we don't have to spend money on movie tickets, this will be easier to afford i guess.



    My best guesses would be either FYEO or TSWLM, but yours is as good as mine.

    A pic on Facebook seems to confirm its TSWLM.

    @acidie can you share the image or post? I checked the folio page and found nothing.

    Which isn’t it. The fact they confirmed just recently theyre doing the short story collections makes me thinks it’s FYEO

    I found this on the Bond Book Collectors facebook thread...

    Looks pretty good to me.

    It's a great cover--probably the best I've seen for TSWLM.

    Was hoping for FYEO but that is a great cover. The final third of this book should have the lion's share of the good pics. Also, I only buy these two at a time so will have to wait until the next one is released and get it when free shipping is available. Looking forward to seeing those Dalton illustrations!

    Nice, that must be it than. Thanks.

    So it seems they gonna push the short story collections to the end. I suspect FYEO and OP will be the last books to come out and they will do one a year. They will just need more illustrations for these short stories.

    That cover!! Wow.

    Nice find. Nice cover for sure. The art will definitely help in revisiting this one which isn’t one of my favs. Though I don’t hate it like some people. Was hoping for FYEO, but I guess it’s been a month for having my hopes dashed.

    I'm in a terrible dilemma, because I have four, and there are eight so far released. I don't know whether to get a full collection, or just get the ones I like.
    If only they were a tenner cheaper.... (I'm not loaded, see).

    My God, my mind sometimes. Glancing at the above picture, I thought it said "my Penis" instead of "(Drea)my Pines".

    I agree. That is a great cover for the Folio edition. It's very evocative of time and place.

    I need to get my hands on these.

    I'd guess either OHMSS, YOLT or TMWTGG is next.

    It hadn't crossed my mind until you pointed it out, but now my brain is all 'No vacancy at my air-conditioned penis', so thanks for that.

    I wonder what the TripAdvisor rating is for that penis...

    They release the books chronologically, so OHMSS will surely be next. Most probably mid October. But since FYEO has been skipped, it could be released next instead, though i think it will come out last with OP.

    Depends on the efficiency of the air conditioning I should imagine.
