Saw this while cruising around Amazon. I searched previous posts and found nothing. Looks like a good read but does anybody have it? How was it? I'm curious as to what Christopher Lee wrote.

It's an awesome, excellent book Booyeah.

This book chronicles all the places of interest that Bond fans would want to know about. There are locations connected to the films, novels, and the lives of the Bond actors and Fleming.

It's very detailed, down to giving you directions of how to get there by tube.

I am glad I have my copy.

You know, I've seen this for many years, and I've heard it's okay as a Bond book, I actually don't own it yet, but being a completist, I know I will soon. Just hoping that price drops a little.

I sent you a PM Xenobia (I think) did you get it? I'm not rushing you I just wanna make sure I sent it.

Yes, a very good book, and it, as well as the author Gary Giblin, has being covered fairly extensively by CBn in the past....

How London Does It - a review of the book

[Atticus17F]

"James Bond's London" is easily the best Fleming/Bond reference book I own. Gary Giblin's attention to detail is amazing. He covers everything, from the obvious (MI6 HQ, Houses of Parliament, etc) to the most obscure locations, even covering Bond's driving route from the office to his flat... and if you like a tipple, I can highly recommend the pub-crawl game, too!

I don't know what happened to his follow-up book, "James Bond's Britain". That was supposed to be available this year but isn't, for some reason.

Thanks for the review. I'm definitely looking for it at my next venture to the bookstore.

I find this an excellent book - very detailed.

As someone who works in London, this year I plan to visit as many of the sights listed as I can.
