Anybody who was put off by the price and hadn't bought this so far in Britain should visit their local "The Works" shop as soon as possible. I got one last week in Cardiff for £12.99 and I saw them yesterday in Swansea.......that's my Christmas bargain for 2013 sorted.

    My copy came with the Bond 50 Blu-ray set. It is indeed a very cool book, with lots of great information.

    Was that a freebie thrown in with the Blu-ray set, @Soundofthesinners? Very good if it was!

    Yes, it came attached to the blu-ray case and everything. It was great seeing how the styles of the posters evolved through the years.

    Yes, I really must give mine a good look over! A great book, made even better when it came free!

    really?!?!?! My set didn't come with the book! I got it off sort of a fly-by-night website so I guess that's to blame. I haven't been able to find the book in stores yet, but then again I haven't tried that hard.

    The next Bond-related book I'm really looking forward to is Lazenby's autobiography, which has seemingly been in development for years.

    That's interesting. I got it as a gift, so I'm not sure where exactly it came from. I also live in America, whereas you seem to live in Wales, so that might have something to do with it too.

    I'm in America too, the site I got it I think was based in some Eastern European country (I have absolutely no reason for why I felt the need to get it from there).

    Eastern Europe?! Yes, that explains a lot!

    Sorry, I got you confused with the OP. @Dragonpol is right, the Eastern Europe bit makes sense.

    Exactly! On that note, did Kristina Wayborn ever do anything else noteworthy? She was crazy hot and a much better actress than, say, Britt Ekland.

    Not really, @hildebrand_rarity she was originally a model and had a couple of other roles in TV shows and Swedish movies, but playing Magda was just about the apex of her career.

    Bummer! She was always my favorite character in OP.

    I know it was on in my local one for a few days only a while back, and that was when I got it. So it could just all be down to the luck of the draw?

    Yes, I suppose. I'm a big fan of the early Bond posters, so I hope I'm lucky on the day! On their website, its £35, so to get it for £12.99 is very nice indeed.

    Do be sure to practice your "surprise face" in the mirror before Christmas day arrives.

    Haha Of course! But I don't know who's got it me! I skimmed through some of the pages and it looks a bloody good book!
