The mission of The James Bond Dossier is to provide fans with news, information, opinion and reviews related to Ian Fleming’s books and the long-running film series.
The site was started by David Leigh in January 2002, adopting the current name in 2004. Initially only about Ian Fleming’s books, the focus widened after the success of Casino Royale when Daniel Craig’s portrayal of 007 made it clear that the series was pushing in a new, more interesting direction. Today the site covers all aspects of the world of James Bond.
