Little did I know how sought after it would become. Also I think the British book club Goldeneye is the true first edition as it appeared before the Hodder and Stoughton version. Not worth so much but still very collectable.

When I first got into the books as a young lad about 20 years ago, my local library packed a mix of the different paperback editions. It's great to go through these photos and fondly recall which versions provided my first foray into Bond literature.
