Anyway. I'm reading Goldfinger, currently. This version:

I also have that same version of Thunderball, which I'll probably read next.

My personal favorite book type ever. I've collected almost all the series in that 60's Signet PB printing. Freaking love the little artworks, color covers, printing, red lined edges and just the way they smell...

Goldfinger was my first Bond novel. It's like Fleming went for broke with it and Thunderball. Really his two over the top works, which are different from the first ones, and led to the ultra-dramatic OHMSS and finally to the coda of YOLT/TMWTGG.
