It has some very interesting discussions and is well worth a read. The level of debate is at a level one can only dream of on here. Havent read it for years but it felt dated even then given it mostly covers the books and only goes up to GF for the films. Well worth a look if you can get hold of a copy though.
And yes, as The Wiz says, good debate here on the literary Bond is certainly not what it was when I joined in December 2012 which is why I rarely post here now sadly.
It should be available from Amazon - that's where I got mine. :)

NOW, I want to be your Friend!!
Congratulations... to them!! ^:)^
And the Limitation Act on your theft of the library book has run out Wiz so you're quids in! :))
I mislaid the book (albeit on my Bond bookshelf - which I grant looks bad but was wholly accidental), admitted this loss to the library and paid the appropriate fine so as far as they're concerned the matter is settled.
It's hardly my fault they set their fines at a fraction of the book's cost and given I was the first person to take it out in about 6 years I doubt anyone missed it, although to any Bond fans in Stafford who trawled the library looking for this tome in the past 20 years you have my apologies. But it was a complete accident (I must emphasise that point) and I was as surprised as anyone to find it on my Bond bookshelf years later.
I'm only pulling your leg, Wiz. At least the book got a worthy home and was appreciated by your good self rather than languishing on a library shelf merely gathering a film of dust!
Just playing it safe -when Yewtree run out of 70's celebs to persecute they might start coming after the library transgressors.
And in today's Britain all it takes is one person to complain to the police that they wanted to take that book out and I'm going down.
Satire, but sadly it's all too true, Wiz. :))
Yes, that essay was on our curriculum when I studied media science at the university, so I too have had the pleasure of reading it.
No, I think that link is just to @Emilio's site - he found the original Italian edition of this book - Il Caso Bond.
precisely B-)
I am currently in the process of cataloguing our old books so I can sell them to help my sister fund her graduate studies abroad. Most of the books are useless DIY manuals from the 50s or 60s, Cold War spy thrillers, but one of the books is a hardbound copy of The Bond Affair with a dirty dust jacket. I came across this thread by searching for the book on Google. I search for every book on our shelf to verify if I have the genre correct. Anyway, I'm surprised by how ridiculously valuable this book is (I confess I'm not really a Bond fan myself).
If you're willing to buy it, I am also uncertain how we could go about the transaction. I live in the Philippines so the best I can do to prove the book's authenticity is to send photos, videos, etc. I am also not sure about shipping since our postal service is notoriously unreliable, so it might have to be done via more reliable services (DHL, FedEx). If anyone is interested, maybe we can work something out. Let me know.
