Compiling the list for our increased Books categories (see www.wheretosell.co.uk/book-categories/ ) we noticed that Ian Fleming’s James Bond books are continuing to fetch useful prices. A first impression of Casino Royale – the first 007 story – sold for £19,000 at Bonhams on June 15th (Bonhams Books 020 7393 3828).
We gather that the UK values of first edition Bond books are ranked something like this:
1. Casino Royale
2. Moonraker
3. Diamonds Are Forever
4. The Spy Who Loved Me
5. The Man With the Golden Gun
