James Bond: The Secret World of 007

Agent Wade

There are I believe two versions of the book James Bond: The Secret World of 007, one that lists the movies up through TWINE and this one http://www.amazon.com/James-Bond-Secret-World-007/dp/0756623049/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223249370&sr=8-6 which included DAD and a tease of CR.

On the whole, I think it was very well done. My only complaint in it is the coverage of GoldenEye. Normally, the book is quite good at showing a really well-illustrated diagram of the villain's lair often paired with a play-by-play of the actions that transpire. However for the GE segment, they show only the Archangel facilty and then do a run-down of the events in the Bond/Onatopp downhill chase. Compared to the rest of the book, it seems to be a considerable cop-out and poor use of space.

Has anyone else this book? Thoughts?

basically, the 1st 2 discs r the same as the earlier CR dvd edition. the 3rd disc is great. the section on deleted scenes is an eye opener. they actually shot a lot more scenes which can make the storyline stronger. but i guess they deleted it as the final cut was already way too long. other than this there are a few more docs on ian fleming, cr etc etc. well worth the buy to me.
