Oh, baby! This should be interesting.

Is this in a press release or on their official site? Do you have a link, good doctor?

They emailed me this morning. No other details other than what I have provided. The interview I conducted with him was a big success with 20th Century Publishers. They told me how they were very appreciated and that they have given him the greenlight to do his take on the films. Should be quite interesting if not amusing.

The people at Twenty First Century Publishers have informed me that screenplay writer Christopher Wood has completed his book THE SPY I LOVED based on his time working on the films - The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.

According to Fred Piechoczek, the book deals with Christopher's move from the Confession films to Eon Productions. The book is due out in September 2006.

I enjoy these types of books that explore some of the lesser known members of the Bond crew's stories. I hope he doesn't pull any punches in giving his story.

I'm kind of surprised it isn't yet.

I'm disappointed about the cover as well.

Hmm, I was hoping it would be a hardcover. Oh well, must have it, even with that poor cover.
