Get in quick guys, I think this may be a pricing error, but Amazon will guarantee the lowest price.

£29.24

    Thanks GM. This was flagged in another thread so just passing on people should be aware it's a smaller version (dimensions wise) than the original. Hence the cheaper price.

    Just a warning: I found this book on a Dutch website for 64.99 so Amazon is still a lot cheaper but this site shows the dimensons of the book as 327 mm * 245 mm * 56 mm. That is significantly smaller than the 486 mm * 355 mm * 68 mm of the original.

    Edit: you beat me to it kadd, well, two warnings are better than none at all :))

    Thanks for the heads up guys, fully read the ad now and you're absolutely right. Even so I still think it's a bargain.

    I agree with you GM and also think it's still a bargain compared to the RRP

    I've already ordered one as I find the smaller Taschen versions easier to store in my tiny flat. I have the smaller version of the Taschen Muhammad Ali book...

    Bought one of the originals expecting a lot of new images from EON's archives. Was disappointed.

    In all honesty: that makes two of us. The book was somewhat hyped, but didn't contain all that many new pictures... If there will be a Spectre-on-Set type of book, I won't be purchasing the Archives update.

    The pictures were okay, and the content was decent, but for once, I'd appreciate a retrospective that doesn't reference John Cork's documentaries from 15 years ago.

    Something else that felt out of place was the insertion of the author's/compiler's/editor's comments; they were placed sporadically throughout the text as if he interviewed himself. It would have worked better as prose, I'm confident that he didn't conduct over 90% of the interviews quoted.

    Just received an email from Amazon - my order has been cancelled as book is no longer for sale? :s

    What they said.....Ridiculous! :s

    We’ve cancelled The James Bond Archives. Spectre Edition (Film) (Asin: 3836551861) from your order 026-0315840-6724302.

    Unfortunately, we’re no longer able to offer this item for sale. Our supplier has informed us that it's been discontinued and is no longer available. You may find that it's still available from third-party Sellers on Amazon.co.uk Marketplace but I'm afraid we can't source stock from these Sellers......AT A GREATLY INFLATED PRICE?

    Screw Amazon. Try this guys:

    So much for Amazon guaranteeing price... Feels more like a price error get out tactic... Got the original so will let the Spectre bts one do...

    Yep- I just got that too - what a cop out. I'll keep a close eye on it - if it goes on sale again (undoubtedly at a higher price) then would be worth pursuing.

    It would appear that this is not released until 1st December now.
