Collectors notes

​As there were only 2 printings (and these printings were available with different covers) You Only Live Twice is one of the more difficult ones to find with this cover. A few copies of the 1st edition with the Hawkey design of cover were made to look like the movie tie in version by having a wrap around dust jacket added. Only a few examples have survived and rarely come onto the market. See the entry for the Hawkey You Only Live Twice for more details
