James Bond novels - Fleming & Gardner books out of print...
 

So I've been waiting for the Bond collection to come back in print so I can complete my collection in Hardcover.

I saw something at a Borders about them coming back in print as "trade paperbacks," but I really want them in hardcover. I've got all of the Gardner books, and a handful of Fleming novels.

Does anyone have any idea if these will be back in print in hardcover anytime soon, or am I relegated to searching in the used bookstores?

Mostly used hardcovers @ <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/series/-/24/hardcover/ref=b/104-6363171-7039962" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a>

Or import them new from <A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/sim-explorer/explore-items/-/0670910406/0/026-9619546-8732426" target="_blank">Amazon.co.uk</a> (the default is to show the softback for each title but just look for the hardcover link).

I'm just surprised that Glidrose hasn't gotten these back in print in the U.S. with the Bond movie franchise back in high gear since 1995.

If I was running Glidrose I'd have made sure the books were back in print prior to one of the Bond movie releases - probably 2 or 3 months prior to Tomorrow Never Dies.

I'll check out those links....

I loved the design of the old Signet paperbacks with those great tiny paintings - "Moonraker" with the girl holding the gun at you as a space capsule is taking off in the background. "Diamonds Are Forever" with its hot pink cover showing a cheap blonde in her lingerie sitting in front of her vanity. Great stuff.

I have a full set of those old Signets. A used bookstore sold them to me for half of cover price. $1.80 for the complete James Bond? Sure. ;)

Damn!
