Latest Arrivals From Ian Fleming Publications

Three more recent arrivals to add to my collection.  The first is the standard paperback edition of Charlie Higson's "On His Majesty's Secret Service" with this terrific cover:

Next is the most recent reprint of Ian Fleming's "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" with new illustrations by Thomas Gilbert who has also signed this copy:

Last is another paperback copy of Charlie Higson's "On His Majesty's Secret Service", however this edition was limited by Ian Fleming Publications to just 200 copies.  It has sprayed red edges featuring a repeated 007 motif, and is signed by the author:




This copy was also accompanied by these great promotional items:


Certainly some nice additions to my James Bond/Ian Fleming paperback collection.  I will be adding this Charlie Higson front cover image to my PizGloria.com website shortly.

Goldsboro Books "On His Majesty's Secret Service"

To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III on May 6, 2023 a new James Bond novel was released in the UK.  The novel was titled "On His Majesty's Secret Service" and written by Charlie Higson who has previously written several Young Bond novels.   

I received my hardcover copy from the UK last week; a signed by the author and numbered (335) edition provided by Goldsboro Books.



All the royalties of sales of this book are being donated to the UK National Literacy Trust.

Just one last thing... Goldsboro Books pack their books amazingly well.  Here's a photo of the packaging my book came in which meant there was definitely no chance of the book being damaged during its journey to Australia.  And if anyone needs some bubble wrap I now have a couple of spare rolls... but who's complaining.
