I have recently reviewed the first two stories in this collection, "Octopussy" and "The Living Daylights", under another volume. So I will only give my thoughts here about the added short story, "The Property of a Lady". It's a nice tale, wherein Bond must attend an auction of the Emerald Sphere, a gorgeous, and expensive jewel by Faberge. The goal is to find out who the Russian spy is. It's not a nail bitter, but it is a good read. And it sort of appears in a scene of the movie "Octopussy", though a bit altered. (
