ISBN number 0 330 10201 X. The printing history for Thunderball is rather complicated. Firstly partly due to the legal wrangles surrounding Thunderball, Pan had an excess of old sets of pages from the 1960s. These were bound up with sill life covers so despite not going on sale until the 1970s they are 1960s printings. Due to a mistakes there are two different 16th printings and 2 different 17th printings. The printings below are in chronological order (who said collecting these books was supposed to be easy!).- 14th printing 1965. Multi currency pricing printed to back.
