Indispensable Literary and Cinematic Bond Compendium

I found Author Raymond Benson's "James Bond Bedside Companion" to be an indispensable work on James Bond along with works of authors such as John Griswold, Kingsley Amis, Philip Lisa and others. Benson's book focuses on both the literary and cinematic James Bond and goes even further examining the entire James Bond phenomenon. Overall this is a very comprehensive book told concisely in expert fashion. It is an essential book for any James Bond enthusiast. Putting it bluntly, Benson knows his stuff.

THE essential reference work on James Bond. Period.

If you're a fan of the movies or books but haven't ever read anything about them, this is the place to start. If you have read lots of other stuff, but not this, shame on you. You'll still learn a lot from The James Bond Bedside Companion, and you'll find that it is THE essential guide to all things Bond, books and films, all in one place. I have just about everything ever published on Bond in English (and that's a lot of books), and this is the one that I'll pull off the shelf first if I want to look things up. Every Bond fan should own it.

All you want to know on BOND!
