I visited Mornington again a couple of weeks ago and it turned out to be very fortunate. First stop was the secondhand store Books By The Bay.
After a bit of a wander through the store I found two Bond paperbacks; a copy of Ian Fleming's "From Russia With Love" and a copy of Anthony Horowitz's "Forever And A Day".
Then after speaking to the store owner, Leonid, I was introduced to a Jonathan Cape copy of "The Spy Who Loved Me". The hardback was a fifth impression printed in 1963. There was some slight silverfish damage on the back of the dustjacket but that only momentarily deterred me from purchasing it.
And here's some photos of the book at home.
After bidding farewell I then visited Charter House Secondhand Books, but wasn't as fortunate here with the Bond novels. I will return again though.
