All these new Bond books is a good sign, but it makes me wonder. Were these targeted to come out now because the authors and publishers thought there would be a new film out or just because Bond has steady popularity?
It also makes one wonder what will be in store next year when Casino Royale is ready for release (we hope). ![]() "You didn't think I'd miss this performance, did you?"

I'm just amazed at all the Bond related books coming out. I know in another thread some of us older kids were reminiscing about how for the longest time the only book on Bond films was "James Bond in the Cinema" (1972/1980) followed by "The James Bond Films" (1981/1983) followed by "The James Bond Bedside Companion" (1984/1988). I guess I should mention Sally Hibbin's glorified press kit as well. And back then, you'd get these books as soon as you could and devour them.
Now, there's just a ton of books on all sorts of aspects and it makes you wonder if everything you could say about Bond hasn't already been said by now....twenty different ways. ![]() ![]() "That's a splendid name for it. It's certainly impressive enough. Quantum of Solace -- the amount of comfort." -James Bond |

I received my copy today. I have not had the chance to read any of it yet, but it looks like it should be a really good book!

QUOTE(Turn @ 14 June 2005 - 08:04) All these new Bond books is a good sign, but it makes me wonder. Were these targeted to come out now because the authors and publishers thought there would be a new film out or just because Bond has steady popularity? It also makes one wonder what will be in store next year when Casino Royale is ready for release (we hope). It is a combination. I wrote my book during the months before and after the release of DAD. It then took almost two years to sell it. It is difficult to sell a book with a movie tie-in because of licensing, because of the expense of illustration, and so on. But with a new movie coming out and media buzz in the air, new books have a better chance. So publishers are more likely to buy, and publishers who have already bought are likely to time their release to maximize on "coattail" publicity. It's just like releasing new toys at Christmastime, or releasing movies in "Oscar season." ![]() I know a great restaurant in Karachi.

Finally a Bond book comes out in the US before the UK. I might have to get this if for not other reason that that.

Seems to be a ton of books about James Bond being released these days. Is this just me? This sounds cool though. Some of the "true history" is rather interesting. I caught Modern Marvel's |
