To celebrate the publication of Octopussy and the Living Daylights, the final Ian Fleming James Bond Folio edition in the current series, I thought it'd be fun to put up a poll on people's preference for the slipcase cover artwork. I think the best idea is for people to pick a top three, and just let it run and come up with a final top three later based on everyone's choice.
I've taken photos of my covers rather than get the artwork off the Folio website, as they'll be higher resolution. Anyone can have a go at this of course, not just the Folio collectors on here.
I don't yet have Octopussy, so the picture here is a place-keeper till I can get a decent image of the cover, unless anyone has one?
So, starting with the first Folio in the current series, published in 2015, Casino Royale.
Live and Let Die was published in 2019.
Bond and Drax, on the slipcase cover of 2017's Moonraker.
2018's Diamonds.
From Russia With Love was one of the earlier ones, 2016.
2017's Dr No.
Goldfinger, (2018), had a gold-leaf type effect for Jill Masterson. I expect this'll rate high in the poll.
Eyes Only was the last Folio before the hiatus, coming out in 2022.
Thunderball came out in 2019.
Spy, 2020.
The middle book of the Blofeld Trilogy, from 2020.
Bond and Kissy survey Blofeld's lair, from 2021.
And Golden Gun was another more recent entry, from 2021.
