Although this work has not been updated for over 30 years it is an invaluable reference for the first two decades of James Bond films and, as the subtitle suggests it has a wealth of information on the behind the scenes history of each movie. The format is one chapter per movie and as a pre-teen it became my go-to reference book when I would read the corresponding chapter for the James Bond movie I had just watched on Britain’s ITV. I have no reservations recommending this book and believe it belongs on the shelves of all self-respecting Bond fans. ( )
