Thanks to The 00 Files team for inviting us on to their podcast to discuss The James Bond Lexicon project. Gill and Alan had a great time discussing the book, and quizzing the guys on their James Bond Lexicon based knowledge. And of course, they had to turn the tables on us too! – Now we know to make sure we are fully briefed on the respective heights of Dutch actors in Bond movies!
Thanks to Chris Wright and Tom Sears at James Bond Radio for inviting us on to talk about The James Bond Lexicon.
We were honored to be the first guests on their special 007th Anniversary show. You can listen to the show on your favorite podcast platform, or even watch the interview on YouTube.
[Having listened back to our spot on James Bond Radio we realize that Alan made a couple of goofs.
Sorry about that.]

Almost a decade since we started working on it, it’s great to hold the first print advance copy of The James Bond Lexicon in our hands.
We want to give special shout out to the various people who helped make this a reality:
– Rich Handley for helping kick off the project and his continued support.
– Van Allen Plexico for helping us get to the finish line and for stepping into the role of publisher through his White Rocket Books imprint.
– Pat Carbajal for the amazing illustrations.
– Arnold T. Blumberg – for the great job on the interior design and layout.
– Brad Frank – for his first reader insights and suggestions.
This was a real team effort.

An interesting observation that popped up in a discussion on the BondLexicon Twitter channel recently.
The difference in the title spelling of Gardner’s 7th novel.
– The US versions are “Nobody Lives Forever”
– The UK versions are “Nobody Lives For Ever”
Yet the run-on form “forever” is perfectly acceptable use in British English – so why the difference?
