<strong>License</strong> <strong>To</strong> "<strong>Quote</strong>" is the first book of humorous quotations solely dedicated to the ever-expanding<br />
universe surrounding <strong>James</strong> <strong>Bond</strong> - 007. This volume - of 1500 light-hearted quotes - uniquely focuses on<br />
the off-beat observations and <strong>com</strong>ical <strong>com</strong>ments made about 007 rather than direct quotes from the <strong>Bond</strong><br />
films or books.<br />
“The franchise so often portrayed 007 as ass-chaser first and assassin second.”<br />
- Christopher Orr in The <strong>New</strong> Republic (2008)<br />
“In 1963 ... The Vatican condemned 'Dr. No' as a 'dangerous mixture of violence, vulgarity, sadism and<br />
sex.' Ka-ching!”<br />
- Manohla Dargis in The <strong>New</strong> York Times (2006)<br />
<strong>License</strong> <strong>To</strong> "<strong>Quote</strong>" is all over the lighter side of Double-0 Seven like a cheap safari suit on Roger Moore.<br />
<strong>Bond</strong>'s life & legend, books & movies, enemies & lovers, cars & gadgets all <strong>com</strong>e in for close inspection.<br />
While <strong>com</strong>piling the book, editor Colin M. Jarman found that the <strong>James</strong> <strong>Bond</strong> phenomenon created<br />
polarizing points of view from both ends of the media world: "007 is as much a sitting target for<br />
defecation by the sardonic snipers in the world's quality press as an object of deification by the eulogistic<br />
empathists populating world wide websites."<br />
“I have friends who talk about the pleasures of the <strong>Bond</strong> 'fantasy.' What that boils down to is a bald bad<br />
guy, a bird in a bikini and loud bangs in a foreign country.”<br />
Cosmo Landesman in The Times (2002)<br />
“Indiana Jones, Arnie, Derek Flint et al owe a major debt to <strong>Bond</strong>, <strong>James</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>. Or perhaps Broccoli,<br />

Cubby Broccoli.”<br />
Michael Cooper on Alternative007.co.uk (2006)<br />
<strong>License</strong> <strong>To</strong> "<strong>Quote</strong>" turns the tables on the world's favorite spy and turns the spotlight on him. A veritable<br />
Who's Who of observers and <strong>com</strong>mentators - from all over the globe - take dead aim at <strong>James</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>: man<br />
& myth, superspy & superstar, bon viveur & bon mots dropper.<br />
Comical contributions <strong>com</strong>e from his creators, his biographers, his critics, his fans, his imitators and from<br />
a wide selection of media sources over the last 50 years.<br />
“ 'Goldeneye' has a breed of actress who would no more <strong>com</strong>e out of the sea in bikinis like Ursula<br />
Andress than they would serve the boys coffee between takes.”<br />
- David Lister in The Independent (1996)<br />
"One of the things we have to do is demystify [the C.I.A.] a little bit ... You are not going to be <strong>James</strong><br />
<strong>Bond</strong> if you sign up and five years later you're going to be driving an Aston Martin with a beautiful<br />
young lady at your side on the Riviera. You might be, but I'm not aware of that program yet."<br />
- Porter Goss [former Director of the C.I.A.]<br />
The depth and diversity of this source material clearly demonstrates the unrivaled level of recognition and<br />
the extraordinary fan-base <strong>James</strong> <strong>Bond</strong> has built up since he first appeared in the 1950s.<br />
“It is hard to overestimate the effect <strong>James</strong> <strong>Bond</strong> had on post-war readers and audiences. Here was the<br />
first English hero who didn't own a sensible jumper.”<br />
- Christopher Fowler in The Independent on Sunday (2006)<br />
“<strong>Bond</strong> has no sense of humor, telling only one joke in all 14 books (in 'Goldfinger' (1959) - and it isn't<br />
very funny).”<br />
- Anthony Horowitz in The Daily Telegraph (2008)<br />
Since 1953, <strong>James</strong> <strong>Bond</strong> has been at the summit of the best-seller's list, at the top of the movie box-office<br />
and remains at the forefront of the world's consciousness. His iconic image and cultural footprint are<br />
legendary: <strong>License</strong> <strong>To</strong> "<strong>Quote</strong>" celebrates the more flippant side of that long-lasting legend.<br />
“I've always been fascinated by <strong>Bond</strong>'s gadgets. The guy who gave them to him - 'Q' - must have been<br />
psychic. He always gave him exactly what he bloody well wanted.”<br />
- Eddie Izzard<br />
“In 'Casino Royale,' Daniel Craig develops the character very skillfully. When he starts he is 'a blunt<br />
instrument.' By the end, he's the sharpest tool in the box.”<br />
- Christopher <strong>To</strong>okey in The Daily Mail (2006)<br />
