All three are Bond box sets. The first is the rarest, a slipcase containing four titles published by Pan Books in 1973. The books are part of the Still Life series. The slipcase reads "Four Famous James Bond Thrillers". The titles are "Casino Royale", "From Russia With Love", "Dr No" and "Goldfinger". The slipcase does not have an ISBN.
The second and third box sets were released by Triad. The set in the left of the photo contains six Triad Panther titles - "Live And Let Die", "From Russia With Love", "Goldfinger", "You Only Live Twice", "The Man With The Golden Gun" and "Octopussy And The Living Daylights". The set on the right contains four Triad Granada titles - "Live And Let Die", "Goldfinger", "The Man With The Golden Gun" and "Octopussy And The Living Daylights". Both sets are part of the Girls On Guns series and the slipcases read "Bond 007". The six book set has an ISBN 0 586 04820 0. The four book set has an ISBN 0 586 05691 2.
All three box sets are difficult to find. In fact I've been looking for the Pan Books slipcase for over 20 years, so it's great to finally add them all to my collection. More details can be found here along with the other box sets I own.

ReplyDeleteHi JS Radmore, thanks for the question asking where I found the box sets. I was lucky to purchase them from John F. who lives in New Zealand. Sorry, I've no idea where he purchased them though, cheers Baz
