JAMES BOND: LICENCE TO "QUOTE"
THE QUOTABLE DOUBLE-0 SEVEN
THE WORLD'S FAVOURITE UNDERCOVER AGENT - UNCOVERED
1500 humorous quotations about Commander Sir James Bond
This volume uniquely focuses on humorous comments made about 007 rather than direct quotes from the Bond films or books.
Bond's life & legend, books & movies, enemies & lovers, cars & gadgets all come in for close inspection. 007 is as much a sitting target for defecation by the sardonic snipers in the press as an object of deification by the eulogistic empathists populating the fansites.
"Frankly I wish he'd just get back to the days when Bond head-butted Curt Jürgens in the face, blew up Donald Pleasence's volcano and went to bed with Barbara Bach."
Jeremy Clarkson in The Sunday Times
"James Bond is just Jeremy Clarkson with a better haircut and worse jokes."
Giles Coren in The Times
"Bond has no sense of humour, telling only one joke in all 14 books (in Goldfinger (1959) - and it isn't very funny)."
Anthony Horowitz in The Daily Telegraph
"Everyone in Bond is named after somebody Ian Fleming knew. Pussy Galore was probably his cleaning lady."
Sinclair Mackay, The Man with the Golden Touch
"I have friends who talk about the pleasures of the Bond fantasy. But what that really boils down to is a bald bad guy, a bird in a bikini and loud bangs in a foreign country."
Cosmo Landesman in The Times
"Indiana Jones, Arnie, Derek Flint et al owe a major debt to Bond, James Bond. Or perhaps Broccoli, Cubby Broccoli."
Michael Cooper on Alternative007.co.uk
