The most recent Easton Press catalogue shows the complete James Bond collection by Ian Fleming is now available. They’re expensive books, being leather-bound and with 22kt gold edges and embossing. I have a growing collection of Easton Press books, and I think these handsome volumes will ecentually find their way onto my shelves.

Oh – by ‘expensive’, I mean $54 per volume. There are 14 volumes. You _really_ must be a fan to buy these books! Then endpapers, incidentally, are reproductions of the original covers.

Oh, James Bond _books_ in leather…

Not what I was thinking, when I read the thread title.
