Bondian.com used to be one of my favorite Bond sites, and has been down for many months now (if not a couple years). I would always refer to it for it's abundance of information on Bond books of every type, with pictures of every edition.

Now the site brings you to a web development page, saying Bondian.com will return...

I believe the owner of the site used to frequent these boards, and possibly anyone else might have some information as to the status of the website. I'd very much like to see its return sometime soon.

(Also, I apologize if this has been brought up before, however searching for "Bondian" isn't exactly the most specific search term on CBn.)

Hey Tim,

I feel your pain as Bondian.com was another one of my frequent stops on the net too.

That page used to say something along the lines of "Bondian.com will return in late 2008" or something like that and then it just switched one day to "Bondian.com will return". Probably not a good sign...

Tried emailing Mr. Krofchok about it a while ago, but I don't think I got a response back.

I see, that doesn't sound good. Perhaps I shall try emailing Mr. Krofchok myself. Perhaps the alterations are just taking longer than expected.

(Also, sorry for the thread title. My record must have skipped.)

Let me know if you hear anything good. :(

Aha, very clever, Mr.* (on both accounts). :( Thanks!

I suppose this will have to do until/if the site comes back proper.

Anybody get any replies to their e-mails sent to Mr. Krofchok?

I really miss this site. It was an invaluable tool. B)

Haven't heard back either, but the web archive link above should help you out a litle in the meantime, Chris.

I just noticed this at bondian.com which gave me a glimmer of hope that we might eventually see the return of Bryan Krofchok's amazing resource.

That message was posted 4 months ago, so it must be quite a slow process. Patience is definitely a virtue.

Unpacking after a move always takes much longer than expected. Hopefully, things are moving along behind the scenes.

I really miss Bondian.com. It was an invaluable resource for images of all the different Bond novel editions. Hope it comes back soon.
