I just received this set as a Christmas gift and I'm pretty sure my son and daughter-in-law did not pay $500 for it, so I don't advise buying it here. However, anyone who loves the Bond films should read the books. Over the years, I have read them all several times and now I have an excuse to read them again. A warning though: they are addictive and after you read them all you will wish there were more. Each one is a fast, fun read and they will go quickly. One more word of warning: If what you like best about the movies is the gadgets, you'll probably be disappointed. While Bond did have a briefcase with a couple of concealed weapons and he did drive an Aston Martin in Goldfinger, it wasn't tricked out with all of the gadgets like in the movie and there were no submarine cars or invisible cars, etc. You can read about a flying car in Fleming's Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang, but it's not a part of this set. If you want to know the real Bond, get this set and enjoy.

Of course you cannot get this at Costco for $15. Thats ridiculous. Don't take my word for it, try for yourself. Or search online at the Costco store. And No, I'm not a seller.

Its a nicely packaged set. All there. A must have for any Bond reader. The Bond books have things the movies tend to lack. They have depth of character. A greater sense of pace and even realism.

There are suprisingly few 007 book collections out there. This is nice and stylized.

This set sold at our bookstore for $49.99, and one was left so I grabbed it. So far I have read Thunderball, Man with the Golden Gun, Goldfinger, Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. Having read Ian Fleming years ago, I highly recommend his prose. If you are at your local bookstore and see this set, you really should buy it.

Really nice set of books -- I've already read them and started over again -- want to get the DVD set and watch each one after I read the book -- Fantastic buy and quality!

whoever loves James Bond must get this wonderful collection ,brilliant ,but pricey ,all good stuff cost dough ,what we can do...

Okay, so I just picked this box set up at Costco for $14. There were plenty of them there and they are much cheaper than you can get here.

I bought this set for my husband's birthday - he's a long-time James Bond fan. He really likes it.
