Well, FINALLY, we've been waitin' with (un)baited breath for your brilliantly belated arrival, Bill-ster.
And, aye, as a (MMoT) Major Minority of Three, we really like the noo title, as we feel it's one of the most poetic and evocative ever - not dumbed down or insulting the audience's intelligence that everything has to be insultingly spelled out
(or even make immediate sense - which it does considering Bond's healing from Vesper's non-virtue) ...

Hay, hold on to that First Edition, Meester Marshall, it just might subsidize that royal retirement chateau in the South of France you've had your eye for quite some time.

Unfortunately, only the original hardcover versions are really valuable; esp. the Brit. editions.
The Bauman Books list on the back of the NYT book review lists titles with some some reularity. Usually, low four figures.

They were certainly asking her to be a Fiona knock-off, but I think she managed to acquit herself well, given the way the part was written. In fact, Bond's line to her, "The things I do for England." recycled a line he delivered to Fiona in the same scenario but was cut from the film (but which still can be seen in the Thunderball trailer).
Karin also brightened the proceedings of Hitchcock's "Topaz", and managed to have a death scene even more memorable than her one in YOLT.

. Interesting that a Bond girl from the distant past returned to the fold four decades later!
