Octopussy 6th U.K. Penguin Paperback Printing



Octopussy & the Living Daylights, Ian Fleming, 6th Penguin paperback printing, U.K.



This edition contains four stories: "Octopussy", "The Property of a Lady", "The Living Daylights", and "007 in New York".

Among Fleming's Bond titles, Octopussy is the hardest to find, so when we stumbled upon this printing in a bookshop in Dallas last year, we nabbed it.

Penguin became the new Bond paperback publisher in 2002 in both the U.S. and the U.K., with different cover art in each country.

We would like to say that this cover art is the most forgettable that we've posted so far, but you can't forget what you didn't know in the first place, and we just don't know what we're looking at.
