Library Journal Review

This volume would make a perfect gift for any avid James Bond movie maven. At almost 500 pages, it is certainly comprehensive, including detailed information on major and minor actors, special effects, directors, complete credits for all the Bond films, famous quotes by Bond, and much more. The information is well researched and presented in a lively, enjoyable manner. In comparison with a standard film reference volume such as Ephraim Katz's Film Encyclopedia ( LJ 11/1/79), the Bond encyclopedia is more informative on many entries, e.g., for second directors and special effects directors. While bordering occasionally on the ``fanzine,'' this probably belongs in most major film collections.--Julie Semkow, Health Science Ctr., SUNY at Brooklyn (c) Copyright 2010.
