Product Description

Review

'An irresistible and authoritative passport to the 'real' Bond's life and times.' -- Absolutely James Bond Website 20050501 'Meticulously researched...a fitting tribute. More enjoyable than watching 'Die Another Day" -- FQ (Father's Quarterly) 20051101 'This is an entertaining journey through the world of the original James Bond' -- MI6 Website 20051101 'An illuminating insight into an author's life' -- Publishing News 20050610 Bond said "And I would like a medium vodka dry martini -- with a slice of lemon peel. Shaken and not stirred, please. I would prefer Russian or Polish vodka." -- Dr No 20050610 M reached for his in-basket and took out a file of signals. Without looking up he said "Look after yourself." -- For Your Eyes Only 20050610 Praise for Colditz: The Definitive History: 'crammed full of compelling nuggets' -- Mail on Sunday 20050610 'I wish Henry had written this book three years ago. It would have made my life a lot easier. It really does tell you everything you need to know about Ian Fleming and the creation of James Bond, the most popular English literary hero of the 20th century. It's not just for Bond nuts, though, the fantastic material from Fleming's own archives give you a vivid picture of the world that Bond sprang from.' -- Charlie Higson, author of 'Young Bond' series 20050610 'Much more interesting than the uber-fan's scrapbook' -- Sunday Telegraph/Seven, Michael Prodger 20051204

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive guide to Ian Fleming's Bond novels, 6 Feb 2006

By	Jl Adcock "John Adcock" (Ashtead UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: James Bond: The Man and His World - The Official Companion to Ian Fleming's Creation (Hardcover)

If you've ever ploughed your way through a Ian Fleming biography just to get to the part where he creates Bond - this is the book for you. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this volume gives a real taste of the era when Fleming was alive and creating the James Bond novels. Access to the Ian Fleming archive gives the book a lavish feel, and plots, characters and backgrounds to the stories are given in-depth but entertaining analysis. The 007 films have long cast a shadow over the original source material, which has always been wittier and more interesting in many ways. At last, Chancellor's book addresses the balance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long overdue and a Must Have for all serious Bond Fans, 6 Jan 2008

By	Holger Haase - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: James Bond: The Man and His World - The Official Companion to Ian Fleming's Creation (Hardcover)

There are scores of books around about the James Bond movie series, however, this one is unusual in that - bar a few rare paragraphs - it focuses almost entirely on the books that inspired the movies. This is a long overdue concept and a fascinating read.
