I find this exciting volume to be an excellent addition to the Bond universe: gorgeous photos, elegant layout, and clean, evocative prose. As an historical accounting of the films' sexual genealogy, it is bold and engaging. As a collection the sort of anecdotes one expects from any 'book about movies' it is charming and understated. And I don't feel that it is the sort of book that will appeal only to hardcore fans: it has a definite mainstream appeal which I appreciate. I already bought it for my father's Channukah present, and another copy for my brother's birthday is on the way.
