Book Reviews of The Bond FilesBook Review: A true workman's reference guide to ALL thing Bond Summary: 4 StarsI have over a thousand James Bond books on my shelf. But when I need a Bondian factoid, this is the only book I reach for (and is always the only one I ever need). What sets The Bond Files apart from ALL the other books about Bond is that it does not stop at just the Fleming novels and/or the official films. It has everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, including the continuation novels, videogames, James Bond Jr., role-playing games, the Daily Express comic strips, etc. etc. Sure, some errors creep in here and there, but that's forgivable considering the sheer volume of info here. And as far as the authors opinions clashing with my own...who cares!? I don't reach for this book for opinions, I reach for it for dates, plots, locations, character names; the facts.
My only wish is for a new updated edition. Not only have we had a new film since the last edition, but we've had several new novels and videogames, as well as reprints of the Daily Express comic strips that the authors hadn't access to in 2002. So, please, if you're out there Andy and Paul...bring us an updated edition of The Bond Files. This is THE manual for Bond fans.
