The Bond Files: The Only Complete Guide to James Bond in Books, Films, TV and Comics

An ideal companion to the Bond phenomenon, this volume features all that dedicated fans could want--comprehensive coverage of all 18 films (starring Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan); a look at every novel to feature Bond; and an examination of each of the unofficial films and Bond's small screen outings.

Andy Lane, author of a definitive guide to the cult TV series Babylon 5, and Paul Simpson, editor of Dreamwatch, a screen fantasy and science fiction magazine, have pulled together 45 years worth of original James Bond adventures. Novels, short stories, films, television programmes and comic strips are all subjected to a detailed overview. For example, in the "films" section--File 002 and by far the longest chapter--each film gets a plot overview, a guide to the actors, writers, directors, theme songs, title sequence, locations and tag lines, not to forget sections on James Bond's dress sense, his past life, his toys and his corny lines.
