Comments and Reviews


annaloog 22nd Jul 2022		Thanks, 23skidoo, they all linked, "authorised" or not.



23skidoo 22nd Jul 2022		@annaloog. I have indexed by copy (1986 Grafton UK) here. Both the title page and covers of that printing use zeroes for 007 for I have used that version.



annaloog 19th Jul 2022		Yes, I noticed the letter "O" used in place of numeral "0" (zero) ... perhaps from the "double O" designation for licence to kill? I'd think that the "of OO7" bit should be removed from the title. BTW, I mistook the linked edition as Arrow, when the publisher is clearly Century ... one of those senior moment lapses?



23skidoo 19th Jul 2022		Question: is "of OO7" on the title page? It's not on the cover. Also, I'm noticing the various editions are using "oh" for OO7 when correctly it should be zero or 007 - it just looks weird. I have another UK paperback edition I'll be indexing shortly (might be the Arrow one annaloog mentions) and I'll have to see what format they use.



annaloog 19th Jul 2022		There is also an Arrow edition, not currently linked to this due, presumably, to differences in the title. Oddly, "Authorized" here follows the USA spelling.



23skidoo 19th Jul 2022		Somewhat interesting to see Pan Books - then-current paperback publishers of the Bond novels in the UK since the late 1950s - publishing a paperback of Pearson's book. Adds a little credence to the story that Pearson could have written followup novels based on the "Dr. Watson/Holmes" conceit of the faux biography.
