They have. There is a thread for 'What Bond reference book are you reading?'
I know I’m just talking about this thread and using the book as why I like TLD more. I mean no harm.
Sorry, misunderstood you.
It is an excellent book, as is the previous OHMSS!
What of LTK specifically happens in Nassau Bahamas, vs. Key West, Florida? I thought originally the wedding, and also Felix' home were in Nassau and everything else was in Key West (aside from the Isthmus stuff of course), but now I'm thinking only the wedding is in Nassau and everything else is in Key West?
This moment is unequivocally a highlight of the franchise.
LTK is a terrific mix of the old and the new. The violence and action are a clear nod to modern times, but there's a nice throwback feel to the movie, too.
There's talk of the time Bond was married years earlier (in On Her Majesty's Secret Service) and David Hedison makes a return as Felix Leiter, which makes for nice continuity with the earlier adventure Live and Let Die (even if the actor who plays Bond has changed). License to Kill has a strong atmospheric score (by Michael Kamen), exotic locations, brilliant action sequences, two nice-looking leading ladies (Carey Lowell and Talisa Soto), an evil villain (Robert Davi) who either cuts out the hearts of his enemies or feeds them to sharks, quips that make you laugh and/or groan, explosions, and a short-haired Benicio del Toro (in only his second film role) as a crazy, slimy henchman.
What else could you want in a Bond movie?
My only criticism is Bond’s underwhelming wardrobe in the film. However, this was how Fleming’s Bond dressed too.

The wedding and Felix' s home is in Key West. The opening shot of Bond, Felix and Sharkey in the car is the "7 mile bridge" in the Florida Keys on the way to his wedding.
I believe the only scenes in the Bahamas is when they go after Sanchez via the Coast Guard helicopter and the attempted capture on the island. Also Bimini is in the Bahamas as well. The location of our world class bar fight.
I prefer Dalton's performance in the previous film, and the music is an obvious advantage as well as its Cold War atmosphere and locations.
An increasingly tough choice.
