Noticed that as well. Pretty odd.

[dinovelvet]

Any chance this book will show up at yer local Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc?

[Qwerty]

Ugh. Now delayed on amazon.

Showing as "Unavailable" on Amazon... Anyone know what the deal is?...

[SecretAgentFan]

Got the same problem when ordering from amazon.com. Amazon.co.uk, however, has it in store and sent my copy out today!

Huh. Now it's show it as in stock.

[MarcAngeDraco]

Weird...

[Qwerty]

Yeah. Glad it's on the way though. Didn't want to order through amazon.co.uk.

First to read it should post a review.. I'll probably buy it one way or the other, but it would be comforting to know whether or not it's good first

[MarcAngeDraco]

Yeah. Glad it's on the way though. Didn't want to order through amazon.co.uk.

Me either... The shipping cost usually kills me!...

I guess I'd better get an order in before its 'unavailable' again...

Got my notice that mine shipped today from U.S. Amazon. Should have it Friday.

I've read it and think it is an amusing, lightweight read with some interesting nuggets but no real revelations if you've followed the output on his two films.
Recommended reading for the serious Bond fan.

Quite. I'm hoping mine comes soon.

[DLibrasnow]

Amazon informs me that my copy has just shipped

[DLibrasnow]

Got my copy the other day and am absolutely loving this book. I really like Wood's dry wit and, although I know most of it already, the way he presents it makes it all fresh and interesting. What are other people's impressions?

[manfromjapan]

Got my copy from Amazon today. Pretty cheap too. Got 3 books on the go now -Facts of Death, Ultimate fan Book and now this one!!

[SecretAgentFan]

Basically, it is interesting to get Wood

[David Schofield]

For anyone who has read it, is the book just about the making of the two films or does Wood go into any detail on his turning the screenplays into his novelisations?

[Tiin007]

Ordered my copy yesterday. Should come next week.

[Qwerty]

Got mine today!

Will hopefully be able to get into it sometime next week or over this weekend.

[Tiin007]

We'll be waiting for your review, Qwerty.

[Tiin007]

Mine came today!!!

I'll probably start it in the next few days.

[Qwerty]

Loving it so far. Very cool to hear about the cut scenes in Moonraker and what lines Wood did and didn't like for both films--whether they made it into the final script or not.

I just started reading this book and a LOVE it. Not just for the Bond, but also as a book about being a screenwriter.

I love Woods dry humor

[Tiin007]

I'm also enjoying this book. I didn't like the first chapter, but after that it got great!

[DavidJones]

Does he discuss the novelisations in depth(if at all)?
