I have the first edition. Itās both fantastic and huge. The biggest Bond book I have in my collection. Iām thinking about getting their Star Wars Archive 1977-1983, which by all accounts is also top notch. Very much coffee table books than something you always have placed on a shelf.

I love the size of the original first edition, but it makes it a bit hard to read and handle, and shelf storage is a bit of a problem. An updated reading copy for 15 Euros? A no-brainerā¦

10 quid? Are they going for cheap?

The 007 Store appears to have abandoned the Advent Calendar (although with only 12 boxes last year, it wasnāt an Advent Calender but a Christmas Calendar, not that their attention to detail other than your debit card number is high in the agenda).
This yearās treat for āAuthenticā James Bond āMerchā (dear oh dear) appears to be the James Bond Cocktail Lemon Chopping Set, for Ā£49 British quid.
A lemon chopping set.
Itās a knife and a board. Itās a āmust haveā. Itās [impolite].
One can get a small knife and a chopping board from (irony of ironies) Amazon for about a fiver.
When they say āfeaturesā a dipped marble board and knife, what they mean is āisā.
Were it a Richard Chopping set, I might be more interested/gullible.

Yes, I saw that one too, but it looks very simple. I bought the SPECTRE one from the day of the death.

I finally bought the Assouline book about the Bond vehicles and I will give it to myself on my birthday, like the recent two years with the other Assouline Bond books.
It will be delivered today, this Friday.
By the way, you now can buy the three books together with a slipcase, but if one thinks it will be cheaper to buy them together and get the slipcase as a extra for freeā¦. you must be joking!!
120 euro for one book, but together with slipcase forā¦ 595 euro!!
235 Euro extra! That is a lot of money for one slipcase!

Good choices. The pinnacle of Bond comfort food.

Hum, it only has 192 pages, the big one has 648 pages, so this canāt be the same but than in a smaller format, this has to be a shortened version.

In Germany there is another book released about Bond movie locations:
āDer inoffizielle James Bond Reisefurherā by Cornelia Lohs, is there anyone who read or bought this one and can tell about it?
Also next year Danny Morgenstern has another one out:
āJames Bond Das ultimative Kompendiumā with 1000 pages!

I just received a copy of this book from 1999 from eBay yesterday. I missed out on my chance to buy it from (I think) Waterstones back in 2001 so Iām glad to finally get my hands on a copy. Iām looking forward to reading it. It seems to have quite a fun approach to the literary Bond, complete with some clipart style images that were all the rage back in the 1990s!
