About this product
Product Information
When James Chapman's rip-roaring journey through the annals of celluloid "Bond" first appeared in 2000, the "London Evening Standard" said, "Chapman demonstrates that there is more to the 007 franchise than just girls, guns and globe trotting." Stephen O'Brien, writing in "SFX" magazine called the book "Thoughtful, intelligent, ludicrous and a bit snobby. Bit like Bond, really." "Licence to Thrill" went on to establish itself as one of the best books on the subject, and one that has made readers think in new ways about 007. It follows James Bond from the 1962 "Dr No," through all the subsequent films of the franchise--including "Casino Royale"--exploring them within the culture and politics of the times, as well as within film culture itself. For this new edition, Chapman has now brought the story right up to the present, with an updated Introduction, a new first chapter and, most importantly, full coverage of Pierce Brosnan in "The World is Not Enough" and "Die Another Day," as well as a brand new chapter on "Casino Royale" and Daniel Craig's new-look Bond.

I am very pleased with the price of this new book (the lowest I found). I'm happy with the prompt shipping. The only problem was that the box was damaged during shipping. The new book itself sustained very minor cosmetic damage, no doubt from rough handling. The seller offered to send me a return label at no cost, which I do appreciate. However, I was able to repair the slight damage very easily. Thanks again for your concern.

Great seller, item as described, fast shipping, highly recommended! One suggestion though: box was slightly torn open and would not have survived rain (likely destroying the book) if left outside a mailbox much longer. A bag or stretch wrap would prevent this.
