The UK covers are kinda sparse, but otherwise okay. The US ones are baffling. I know Bond is a ladies man but...cartoony drawings of women???

I’m sure they’ll sell fine.

I would rather buy the UK books from Ebay or someplace else.

Bump to order for my Bond collection. (one of these days I need to take some pics and post a Bond paraphernalia thread.)

The Gardner books were different, mostly because they were updated to the 1980s. I still believe the fleming novels were the best.

I've read Fleming (a couple of times) and those titles (once). They're decent reads, and evocative of things Fleming would rely on (beautiful women with "one wing down" as Fleming put it, an emphasis on local color, and gritty scenes where Bond has to tough his way through physical pain) and on a smaller scale than the movies, like Fleming's work. As I recall, I like Icebreaker the best because of the scenes in Finland.

Can't say those covers impress me. The Penguin 2002 reissues, now those were cool covers.
