Aston Martin Vanquish S Ultimate Black
Here at Goldeneye we don’t really covet cars but this one made us wobble.
Aston Martin have just released pictures of the new Vanquish S Ultimate Edition - incredible.
Needless to say we want one, though I’m not sure how many books would have to be sold to pay for it 
In terms of style it’s hard to imagine a more stylish car brand name than Aston Martin. I feel I ought to have one and the fact I haven’t shows you how unjust life can be !
A lot of people get government support, EU subsidies, tax breaks etc - why can’t I have an Aston Martin ?
I understand how many people may not feel hugely sympathetic to my plight but that’s just selfish - I have needs just as others do.
I may run a collection for all of those out there who I am sure would wish to see me behind the wheel of a bespoke Aston Martin.
Please give generously. If you don’t feel particularly charitable you could always buy a book or two from us.
So don’t waste your money on third world countries, local charities or Red Nose Day - give to the Buy Goldeneye a Vanquish fund - you know it makes sense

Rod,
We felt a slight wobble too. Any man sat behind that would look good, any woman sat behind that would look utterly fabulous ……
Now, the Witches acknowledge the fact that the first blush of youth is something of a memory and anti wrinkle creams are frankly not giving us the supermodel look we expected. Therefore we intend to get one of these four wheeled black car thingies from Mr Martin …. in fact we shall purchase our driving shoes from John Lobbs first and some nice gloves.
Come to think of it Rod, it resembles the Grimsby Growler a bit so perhaps we should stick to the eco friendly broom.
WoE
p.s. by contributing say, a pound, do we get a spin in your car? Do take into account the height required for three pointy hats, either that or we personalize it with roof portholes. Remember to keep the windows shut as we all know the dangers of asteroid fall-out !

absolutely !
All booksellers should receive a government subsidy anyway - they provide a greater service to the community than farmers do growing crops that nobody wants - the EU/government should sling some serious money our way - especially if you have a bookshop !
Thanks for taking the time to comment, any futre comment will be added automatically - welcome to the site

I was hoping the car might work as a ‘hot chick magnet’ but I suspect it would still not be enough !
The quietly comfortable position enjoyed by the witches (serious money in potions - especially love potions for tomorrow) means you are able to purchase said vehicle.
The reassuring news for you is they are all designed to carry a set of golf clubs so there is plenty of room for your brooms in the boot.
I would recommend Dunhill leather driving gloves to go with the John Lobb driving shoes

Ooooh! That’s rather nice!
I wonder how many cellos I could get in it? Or course, I’ve always wanted a cream Moggy Monor like Nurse Gladys Emanuel off Open All Hours - but maybe it’s time to go up market! Shabby chick to hot chic! Dear Mr Lottery, please may I have one too? All donations to impoverished musicians, oh and book dealers, gratefully received. WoE - is there not a spell for such luxury items?!

Witchlet dear,
There are spells for things like this but in both yours and Rod’s case, the acquisition of such a item would mean big trouble. Let’s face it Witchlet you’re not quite old enough yet and there are many more posts and garage doors to avoid before your hot wheels are delivered. As for Rod, well he’s already regarded as *** on legs in Wybers Wood and Horncastle, just think what a set of wheels like that would do for him in the wider world ……. no, we see him more in an old stately (won’t go out in the rain) sort of car.
Perhaps next Tuesday you would bring your cello to the gathering and play for us while we take tea, that Witchlet, would be the icing on the cake for some us, naturally the older witches would join in with close harmony …. thought we’d kick off with Moondance by the VM?

A recital, how appropriate and a much needed injection of civilitiy and decorum.
Mozart with gougere ……. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Rod,
Can you cope with even more women on Tuesdays? At this rate we’ll need to extend into the next property … we’ll leave it to you to put this to the proprietor in your smoothly persuasive way!

WoE
I can always cope with more women
The proprietor should in fact take the block over, excellent additions to an already bulging property portfolio !
Sounds like phase IV of a great plan

Rod, just by chance, came upon this site. Very interesting. Have not yet spent too much time on it but I see that there seems to be some sort of book/car/james bond type of undertone to what I have seen.
Anyway, truth be told, I was trying to find some sort of value to a book that I found in my parents basement. I happened to take it to work and a colleague sort of went wild with excitement. It seems that it is a First Edition, Cape,1965, Ian Fleming, Man with the Golden Gun with a picture of a Gun and bees and some sort of bovine skull. So I did spend some time looking around and saw that some moron bought or will buy, at auction a copy of Casino Royale of similar vintage for an obscene amount of money. I was hoping that you may be able to steer me in the correct direction of where to go with this. I live in Toronto,Canada. Thanks

thanks for the comment, much appreciated, hope you continue to visit and enjoy the site. Sadly there is a lot of difference between Casino Royale and TMWTGG. Unless your book has got a golden gun stamped in gilt on the front board of the book it is not of great value I am afraid.
If you check the homepage out you’ll see a link in the blogroll section to Bookseller World this has a bibliography etc and may help a little more.
Regards
Rod
