in General James Bond Chat
I was curious if anyone received any Bond related Christmas gifts. As for me, I was given a copy of The James Bond Bedside Companion and five paperback Bond novels from the late 50's early 60's. My wife picked them up at the local used book store.

    I got two great books - Henry Chancellor's "James Bond, the Man and his World" which looks in-depth at each of Fleming's books, and "The Art of Bond" which has loads of quotes from Bond alumni, novellists, directors etc commenting on the artwork, music and other facets of the stories and films as well as some nice candid photos from the set and some original artwork and publicity material.

    My wife knows me so well!
    Green figs, yoghurt, coffee very black.

    The Art of Bond is a good book. I have that one. I will have to get a copy of "James Bond, the Man and his World"; it sounds like a great book.

    I made out. My wife got me the first set of the Ultimate James Bond DVDs, the first two Young Bond novels, and the OST to Casino Royale. :)

    In order to make sure ALL of her gifts to me were not 007-related, she gave me a token bottle of cologne.

    - Almost forgot to mention the 007 calendar I received from my boss!

    I got James Bond monopoly from a friend which was a very nice surprise. I also got a 007 scene it from my mom, and one from a family friend. I'll have to return one. Anyway, I'm very happy with my Bond gifts. :)

    however I still don't own the DVD boxset so I'll have to save up and get it when I have a spare 200 quid or however much it is nowadays.

    My aunt got me a radio controled model of the Aston Martin DBS from Casino Royale. Although it will be difficult to resist, I have vowed never to take it out of the box.

    Well, Santa brought that one for my sons...so, needless to say, it's out of the box, and screaming across my hardwood living room floor as we speak B-)

    I didn't receive any Bond-related gifts for Christmas this year---but I was delighted to be able to give one to my brother: a vintage Signet paperback edition of The James Bond Dossier, by Kingsley Amis...as I was fortunate enough to receive a fantastic hardback edition from a friend in Scotland, B-) I was able to pass along my old copy to Another Loeff, who's not read it yet. Happy times.

    I got a surprise gift from my girlfriends parents, a bullet keyring that screws out to hold a small pill vial. It's pretty similar to the one in Die Another Day Her parents call me James Bond Jr.
