A Parcel Awaits...

Upon returning from Europe I was pleased to find a parcel awaiting me.  

Inside was an "advance reader's edition" of Kim Sherwood's "Double Or Nothing".  The book was published by William Morrow in the U.S. in April 2023.

Seven weeks before our flight, I discovered this book for sale online.   Through much communication, and a great friend in America, I was able to get the book redirected from the seller to my friend and then to me in Australia.  Since when did purchasing books from the U.S. become so complicated ?!

This is the fourth proof edition I now own from Kim Sherwood's "Double O" series of books set in the James Bond universe.  All of the covers can be found on the Proof Copies page of PizGloria.com.

Signed "Double Or "Nothing" Hardback

Here's yet another post about a Kim Sherwood James Bond (universe) novel.  I'm not sure how it happened but I acquired a signed hardback edition of "Double Or Nothing" published in the U.K. by Harper Collins in 2022 but forgot to add a post about it.  Well here's my post, although it's mainly images.

I think this hardback is a lovely addition to my James Bond collection.  It was the first novel in Kim Sherwood's "Double O" series.  The second novel, released this year (2024), was "A Spy Like Me", also published by Harper Collins.  The third and last in the series is set to be published next year.
