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.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
