Hi
 
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who has taken part in last month's survey. I've had several hundred responses which should keep me busy for a while ;)

So if you took part - thank you.

If you don't get 
MI6 Confidential already, the magazine currently has a special offer for 2016. Imagine this...

You hear the post delivered to your home as something drops through the letterbox. When you go and check the mail you find a large envelope addressed to you.

Opening it up you find the latest edition of this high quality magazine devoted to all things 007!

It is only available by mail order and you can subscribe to receive the entire 2016 season now. That way you get all 5 issues for the price of 4!


MI6 Confidential is beautifully produced, has a load of great photos and features articles by some really excellent and knowledgeable writers. They sometimes publish my articles too ;)

You can check out the special offer on MI6 Confidential here.

With SPECTRE now well behind us there
 isn't much news this month. However, as any news filters out about the next Bond film, a new novel or anything else of interest you'll find it on The James Bond Dossier.

That's all for now, speak to you soon!
