Sounds rather elaborate - what with the box being red velvet, and the cover being printed straight onto the book.
Why couldn't they keep it simple like the FEL's or the Higson books.  Still, worth considering.

How this for the latest from Hatchards:
Dear David Schofield, Thank you for your recent enquiry. Unfortunately, we have now pre-sold our entire allocation of the special edition of 'Devil May Care'. I do apologise for any disappointment caused. Yours, Mark Hammett Mail Order Manager I presume speculators have been in and bought the lot to stick them of Abe and ebay at inflated prices!! What is the bloody point!!!! these books even being offered by the stores to the public????  |

Or this:
Dear David Schofield, Thank you for your recent e-mail. We put these books onto our website last week and sent out an e-mail to our E-Mail Alert List on Saturday. They had all sold by first thing Tuesday morning. I am afraid that there will not be any spares. Yours, Mark Hammett Mail Order Manager |

 UGH. Guess it will have to be eBay then. But wow. The entire print run gone just like that? Seems somewhat telling of how the collecting niche of booksellers and buyers is going to be treating this Bond novel. ~ Nobody Knows Me Like You Know Me ~ 'People Look Up. Things Fall Down.

I'm going to wait a few months until the hype dies down before I buy this edition. Of course I already pre-ordered the regular book and that will quench my thirst, but this one will require patience on ebay.

I just got all excited about this edition and that I'd be able to order one through Hatchards... only to find out they're sold out already...
 But today is the thirteenth... |

Then more people would have a chance of owning one instead of being forced to bid at grotesquely inflated prices. D A L T O N I T EFLEMING PURIST FOREVER TO MOURN THE END OF THE TIMOTHY DALTON ERA |

Ah, but will Faulks be "signing as Ian Fleming" as well?
It is indeed frustrating that they've sold out already. Still, comforting to know there seems to be a healthy amount of interest in this book.  CBn:Where the moonlight on the Bosphorous is irresistible... Bond. The Bat. The Man With the Hat. Are Back. 2008 |
