Summary: CAN'T PUT IT DOWN, AND I'M A GIRL!
Review: Christmas present, birthday present, valentine's present, no-special-occasion present: this book makes me HAPPY! I can't imagine anyone not falling in love with it. It brought back floods of ecstatic memories -- and of course, I had to read it while drinking a shaken/not/stirred martini! BRAVO! MORE BOOKS from Mr. Biederman's archives -- and WOW, can he write! Wry, witty, charming, impeccably researched -- 10 STARS!

Summary: Absolute Nirvana for the Inner Spy Geek in All of Us
Review: Danny Biederman's THE INCREDIBLE WORLD OF SPY-FI is not only the perfect coffee table book for those of us who grew up wanting to be James Bond (and maybe still DO want to be James Bond), it's also a brilliant and deeply enjoyable work of scholarship and pop-culture history. Biederman's personal collection of props, costumes, and other arcana from the Bond films, TV shows like THE MAN FROM UNCLE, and even spoofs like AUSTIN POWERS, has been justifiably legendary for years; now he's given us the gift of an intense look at just a fraction of that collection. One word of warning: Don't just get lost in the incredible photos, because Biederman's insightful, humorous, and intelligent prose (which accompanies the pics) is every bit as pleasurable as the visuals. My only complaint? I just wished this book was six times longer. Can we hope for a SPY-FI 2 sometime in the future, Mr. Biederman? Sure hope so.

Summary: An Incredible book!
Review: If you watch television or go to the movies you should own this book! I was walking through the book store and the colors on the cover caught my attention. Then, I saw Maxwell Smart's shoe phone. This author has the most amazing collection of great stuff from old tv shows to new movies like Austin Powers glasses. The stories throughout the book are great too because you get to hear the behind-the-scenes truths. I bought one for my dad, my brother, and myself. Thanks to the author for this great treasure of nostalgia and cool stuff!

Summary: Great Gift for the Spy Who Loves You
Review: This book should be in the library, or, more likely, on the coffee table of every aficionado of espionage. Most of us of a certain generation were weaned, so to speak, on the exploits of the imaginative and edgy TV spy series of the 1960s, so there's much here to bring one back to one's formative years. Danny Biederman gives it all his intelligent, informed, and indulgent commentary. There is simply no book like this.
