Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

James Bond is one of the few characters who has enjoyed a loyal following in print and on the silver screen for over 30 years, a feat rivaled perhaps only by the Star Trek crew. He has endured through several authors and a slew of suave British actors?even James Bond-lite Roger Moore couldn't detract from the super secret agent's popularity. Bond also has the distinction of being one of the few action heroes who with equal vigor has attracted men, who fantasize about being him, and women, who fantasize about being with him. Rubin here offers an A-Z listing of everything you always wanted to know about James Bond films but were afraid to ask. Beyond merely stating the facts, he also punctuates the listings with his own commentary on characters, actors, bits of trivia, etc. The text is further buttressed with hundreds of black-and-white stills. In sum, this is a rich resource for all Bond fans who will be both shaken and stirred by the multitude of factoids and photos. Recommended.?Michael Rogers, "Library Journal"

Product Description

The one and only Bond lover's bible--fully revised and just in time for the super secret agent's 50th anniversary

"A dream come true for any Bond fanatic."--Leonard Maltin

"A veritable who's who and what's what of every celluloid Bondian adventure."--Los Angeles Times "

A killer compilation of Bond data so meticulously researched that M would be jealous."--Prevue magazine

This A-Z listing of everything 007 is packed with hundreds of photographs, thousands of entertaining movie facts, and countless behind-the-scenes details, making The Complete James Bond Movie Encyclopedia the most exhaustive compendium of Bond data ever published.

Now totally revised to include updated biographical information and a sneak peek at the upcoming Bond film, Die Another Day, this bestselling Bond bible has it all: the deathdefying stunts, the sexy smirks, the droll humor, the martinis (shaken, not stirred), and Q's battery of high-tech devices. For millions of moviegoers who love action, romance, and cliff-hanging suspense, the name of the game is Bond. James Bond.

3.0 out of 5 stars Exhaustively Researched, Occasionally Annoying, November 8, 1999

By	Derek Johnson (Austin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete James Bond Movie Encyclopedia (Paperback)

We have, first of all, truth in advertising: Steven Jay Rubin's THE COMPLETE JAMES BOND MOVIE ENCYCLOPEDIA is exactly what it says it is, providing information on the series' actors, characters, locations and gadgets. It provides reviews of the first seventeen movies, and the history of the rift between Ian Fleming and Kevin McClory.

There is a lot here. So much, in fact, that the book becomes wearisome. Mr. Rubin's entries about the various Bond searches are interesting, as are his reviews (and, no, I do not agree with half of them), but the quality of these are inferior to the same information presented in his much better THE JAMES BOND FILMS. In addition, Mr. Rubin has seen fit to include some trivia that may tickle the diehard fan but is fairly worthless otherwise.

I was also annoyed by the GOLDENEYE updates. We get few stills from the movie, and the review doesn't provide much in the way of commentary.

Still, if you are a diehard fan, or even a low key one, you'll find this book pleasing and often informative.

4.0 out of 5 stars A paradise of facts for the true "Bond-o-phile", March 1, 1998

By	ryanvanderyacht@juno.com (Orange County, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete James Bond Movie Encyclopedia (Paperback)

The Complete James Bond Movie Encyclopedia by Rubin offers its readers a cornucopia of trivial knowledge about arguably the world's most famous action hero. From more widely known facts, such as who the first man to play Bond was; to more obscure bits of information, such as the domestic and international grosses of all the Bond films; a true Bond fan is sure to spend hours delving into all the little quirks and idiosyncrasies that make agent 007 such an icon to so many.If there is one drawback to the book, it is that the book is an encyclopedia, and so it is presented in that form... alphabetical order, brief articles on many different entries... so the book tends to be somewhat of a tedious read at times. I would certainly not recommend it to someone who doesn't love Bond movies, but if you do, it is an absolute requirement to finish any Bond collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars He Does His Homework for JAMES BOND, September 20, 2000

By	gobirds2 (New England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Complete James Bond Movie Encyclopedia (Paperback)

Steven Jay Rubin has been long underrated as a James Bond enthusiast and seeker of fact on the subject in my opinion. He has always gone to great lengths to obtain accurate information for his published writings.

If you are looking solely for photographs go elsewhere. If you want factual objective information based on exhausted research, this is the book for you. He does his homework.

I highly recommend this book.
