I just bought this book and, after skimming through some of the chapters, I must say that I find it quite an enjoyable read. This is obviously the work of a passionate Bond fan, who has taken the time and effort to do a good amount of research into the world of Bond movies. (She didn't go into the Bond novels, though).
I find that I agree with most of Ms. Lipp's opinions regarding the 6 Bond actors (except that I found her to be too harsh toward Lazenby). Her personal rankings of the Bond films are also quite reasonable, with the possible exceptions of OHMSS, FYEO, and TWINE (I have those films ranked much higher than she does).
Ms. Lipp even gave a listing of popular James Bond Web sites, and AJB is also mentioned.
All in all, I think this is an informative and fun book, certainly worth checking out, especially if one is a fan of Bond films.
