    Thanks,

    Ordered 2 of these, one for me and one for my friend who is a Bond fan. Will do nicely for his birthday.

    They wouldn't accept the free postage code though, had to pay £3.50.

    For an extra £5 you'd get free postage. Anyway of amending your order? Got the catalogue yesterday with the code in, so I don't know why it didn't work.

    I mentioned this on another thread, but the Book People are doing quite a few good collections at the minute:

    10 Maigret books for £10
    10 Gabriel Garcia Marquez (incl Love in the Time of Cholera, 100 Years of Solitude) for £10 (tried this highly-acclaimed author and didn't like him, but mega discount nonetheless.
    8 James Herriot's for £8
    10 Ernest Hemingway for £10 - only just started these.
    10 Sherlock Holmes (in a box) £10 - really enjoyed these.
    10 Ian Rankin £10 - husband said they were ok
    10 Miss Marple £10

    The Georges Simenon (Maigret) books are lovely retro-style editions to mark 75 years. They would be a great Christmas present.

    The Book People also do Red House and School Link for childrens books (there are kids books on Book People too of course) - School Link are currently doing 6 Moomintroll books for £7. I have never seen these discounted before. They are strange but wonderful books.

    Free delivery code for the book people, think it still works.
  • It's not "all" ten - it's missing The Man with the Golden Gun; For Your Eyes Only, Octo!!!!! & The Living Daylights, and The Spy Who Loved Me :-(

    I know - I'm a sad sad person who needs to get out more.....
  • Oh Good Grief!!! For anyone who knows, I'm quite aware of the title of the James Bond book starting with the letters "OCTO"; but when I type it in, the board replaces it with exclamation marks!

    See - there's someone out there who is sadder than me.....

    Ian Fleming didn't write books for all 21 James Bond Film's so far (including the soon to be released Casino Royale). Without checking, I'd hazard a guess that the ten books are the only ones he wrote.
  • uh, Red? I'm just curious; who "did" write Casino Royale, then? The only book you couldn't say was "just" Ian Fleming was Thunderball, because that started life as a script between IF, Kevin McClory and someone whose name I forget .... Whittingham? Something like that. Anyway; it's not all the Bond books written by Ian Fleming; but it's a cracking deal anyway, and my thanks (literal and electronic) go to you for spotting it.

    Hmmm, I feel like I might already know the story to these books 1000fold over.
