5.0 out of 5 stars THE ULTIMATE BOND REFFERENCE - REVIEW 100, January 6, 2010

This review is from: James Bond Encyclopedia (Hardcover)

John Cork and Colin Stutz have compiled in this ultimate encyclopedia of all things Bond, James Bond everything a fan could possibly want to know about this icon of the spy genre. The book is jammed from cover to cover with wonderful photographs covering such topics as the bond style, his history, vehicles, and villains and of course the Bond Girls. Each film is covered with a detailed synopsis of each assignment. The research that went into this exhaustive tome is indeed impressive and well executed. Each actor who has played 007 from the sophisticated cat like bond of Sean Connery to the cold and damaged Bond of Daniel Craig are detailed in mini biographies. The writing is sharp and witty with lots of back-story that is fascinating on each character and event in the story lines. The photographs are incredible and of course in this kind of book that is a must. this large coffee table sized book is the must have go to reference for those who like their Bond straight up and to the point.

This review is from: James Bond Encyclopedia (Hardcover)

This is an encyclopedia of Bond. I was surprised how dense and well done this reference text really is. You can either read through the entire thing like you would with a book that has a plot or you can simply jump from entry to entry. Graphically stunning.

This is a must have for anyone that wants to consider themselves a Bond fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the James Bond Fanatic, January 3, 2011

This review is from: James Bond Encyclopedia (Hardcover)

Posted January 4, 2011, 12:50 AM EST: I was looking for a James Bond Book that included all the movies, all the women and villains, both major and minor, all the cars, weapons and "toys." Well this is it and more,

First the negative, this book did not include the original 1954 Hallmark "Casino Royale" with Barry Nelson and the "Casino Royale" farce with David Niven and Peter Sellers. The book did include the movies from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace. Mini biographies of all the James Bond Actors, how they defined their character and synopsis on all the movies. As long as a character male and female had a single line in the movie they are in the book.

This is a must have book for the James Bond fanatic.
