Today I received the 550th English language James Bond novel for the
Piz Gloria website. I purchased it from a business named
1st Choice Used Books. I don't normally promote on-line book stores however this one offers really cheap books and postage, and from a pamphlet also included in the envelope I read that they have a "being green" policy which really impressed me.
Anyway, this copy of Berkley's "For Your Eyes Only" was printed prior to 1985 which means it lacks the "Featuring From A View To A Kill" film tagline at the base of the cover unlike the two other similar Berkley/Charter covers already on the
website.
I'll be adding a scan to the website ASAP.
Have had mixed luck with buying online. Late last year I ordered A Triad/Panther DAF (I already have one, but the quality of it isn't as good as the rest of my set) and they sent me a '65 Signet instead!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Luke. I always ask for a photo of the cover and spine first. But even then you can still get dudded. You can't beat the old book store
ReplyDeleteI had the Berkley Flemings years ago but for some reason, I no longer do. I suppose I loaned them out and they were never returned. I would love to get the set again though. I have a terrible time reading the 007 Thrillers set from the 1960's.
