William Morrow Bond Series From 2023

Back in 2023 the U.S. publisher William Morrow published a set of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels.  Predominantly black in colour, these simple in design covers look much better in the flesh than they ever have online.

I tried to purchase the complete set last year.  They're not available on book shelves here in Australia so I had to order them from the U.S..  I chose an online book retailer, and when half the order arrived, most of the books were damaged.  I cancelled the rest of the order and the retailer kindly offered a full refund.

Roll forward to a few weeks ago when I reluctantly ordered the books again, this time through Readings Books, an independant book store here in Victoria.  Today the books arrived...

With great trepedation I opened the box and unwrapped the books one-by-one.  Fortunately they arrived great.  Sure there's some minor shipping bumps and scuffs but overall the books are in great condition.

Here's a few pics:

Addendum: It turns out I ordered the wrong copy of one title.  I'll let you work it out from the photos above.  Looks like I'll have to order a copy of the correct edition now.  Slightly frustrating !!!
