Back in 1996, I received with much anticipation my personalised copy of Dave Worrall's The James Bond Diecasts of Corgi which I had contributed towards with some 007 Corgi rarities. I read the book cover to cover then went back and studied the photos and wished they were in colour. It was one of those reads like the amazing The Most Famous Car in the World, also by Dave Worrall, which would be read and re-read. I was not to read a publication cover to cover again until 007 Magazine released their wonderful Thunderball, YOLT and of course OHMSS specials (past & present versions) until today. For 3 days my copy of 007 Magazine Daniel Craig Archive Files Special has been thumbed but not pleasured which may have something to do with my local town resembling downtown Beirut! Well today with bugger all on the goggle box I sat down and read it detailing DC's initial press conference right through to Martin Campbell's sum up of Quantum of Solace. Some of it I already knew, some of it refreshingly I didn't such as just how much cgi there is in Quantum of Solace. The reviewer like myself and indeed the audience appeared to feel the same way " Yes Meeester Bawnd, ve are going to sell vater at twice its market value...oh sheeett Thames Vater have beat us to it! oh vell where did I leave my hollowed out Volcano?
But I digress, it was a great read with some dare I say unique photo content which of course one has come to expect from 007 Magazine's high quality. This publication has come a long way since Ross Hendry started the ball rolling with a photocopied A5 flyer back when RM was half way through his Bond apprenticeship. I look forward with great anticipation to the Tim Dalton Archive Files Special and hope and prey that Graham sees fit to publish the "missing" issues of 007 Magazine created when the magazines format was online only as the Brosnan online issue was an absolute cracker....OVER TO YOU MR RYE.

With my Mod hat on...could you please not open a new thread for every new magazine that is produced...please just update one of the many threads you have opened so far...every new thread means more bandwidth and, therefore, more money. I applaud the effort and reasons behind you doing so...I too would hate to see the magazine disappear again...I hope you understand -{
While the photos in the new ediion are mostly ones we've all seen before, they are beautifully reproduced. And the reviews of CR and QOS basically echo my own opinions of both films, though the reviewer believes Haggis' dialogue for the Bond/Vesper train meeting to be excellent whereas I believe it to be unbelievable, childish rubbish! But unlike some articles, both in 007 and elsewhere, they are very well written.
And for us old timers - I've been subscribing in some form since 1980 and the days of Ross Hendry - it really is great to have a hard-copy product in one's hands.
A great read is the Diary written by Roger Moore whilst filming Live and Let Die, sure takes the glamour out of it!
