Unique Bond Encyclopedia!!

I am a serious fan of the Bond films, and enjoy any written works on the topic. But what set this book apart besides its marvelous detail, was that it also paid homage to the novels, which, thanks to the preponderance of the movie industry, one may not even know about! I knew that Ian Fleming had written books, but had no idea that there is an ongoing series of Bond novels, including some recent and current ones that are not even in movie form. At least not yet. Further, the thumbnail sketches included in this book about each novel let me know that they, and not just the movies, are exciting and worthwhile.Thanks to this book, I have discovered a whole new Bond interest/outlet. In fact, I immediately went out and bought four of the recent Bond novels for my library, have read three, and plan to acquire all of them over time.Bond fans should not miss this book!
