A bit of a disappointment as I thought this was supposed to be something of a new take on an encyclopedia of the Bond films but it is little more than a reprint of photos from the films with generic prose printed on the film in question.

Might satiate a novice's passing curiosity on the subject of the cinematic Bond or serve as a diversion in a dentists' waiting room but will do little else.

Was expecting more I'm afraid.

Nothing special or new here, yet for Bond fans it still carries lots of panache. Beautiful photographs cronicle the history of the franchise from "Dr. No" to "Quantum of Solace". A nice addtion to any Bond collection. Too small to be a glamorous coffee table book but perfect size for that little table in the bathroom. One quick flip through the 160 pages of photos and mission acomplished Mr. Bond. Close the book, flush the toilet and say..."Bond Will Return..."
