The Ultimate James Bond Fan Book will be released September 30, not June 30.

I just found out about this. Literally, about 12 minutes ago.

The good news is that the book is huge, and lavishly illustrated, and meticulously typeset and has (as my publisher said) more charts than a Ross Perot presentation. The delay puts it closer to the movie release, which is almost certainly for the best (and which was the reason for the change).

Still, for those of us (me) who have been waiting breathlessly for the book, it’s a little disappointing. But mark your calendars, boys and girls, September is just around the corner.

In July, it’s Starwood for another full week.

They can’t believe how much vacation time I take here at the office.

All the President’s Men (1976) 10/10
Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) and Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) investigate the Watergate break-in and discover connections to the White House.

But hey, it’s also a kickass good movie. » Read more..
