This probably sounds a bit wanky but there are a number of people I'd like to thank in the creation of this website:
- Firstly I'd like to thank my wife who not only puts up with my collecting and stories about collecting but often travels to the book stores with me. Ultimately she also allows me to spend the money necessary to keep my obsession alive.
- Thanks to my Mum, Dad and brother who all used to sit patiently in a hot car in the middle of woop-woop while I ran into each and every book store I saw on our long car trips to our annual holiday destinations.
- Thanks to my sister-in-law who often texts me asking if I've got this book or that book while shopping.
- Thanks to those people overseas A. Kitty, A. Frances, Alan and Beryl who have sent books or helped find them for me in other countries, especially A and B who visited all the book stalls along the Seine in the middle of a hot Parisian summer.
- Thanks to Michael and his family in the US who have helped me with several book purchases when the sellers were not prepared to ship them to Oz.
- Thanks to Welsh for his persistance and encouragement in purchasing the URL and starting work on the site.
- Thanks to Craig and Ana for their help and interest.
- Thanks to Mikey for his tips and tricks.
- Thanks to Bath for making it a race to learn a new language.
- Thanks to Britto for her care with my book deliveries and the interest she showed in the books I received.
- Thanks to Luko for remembering Piz Gloria and bringing back a Schilthorn brochure for me during a holiday to Europe a few years ago.
- Thanks to Johan, Gav, Sarah, Russ and Mark who in their own ways all supported my obsession and listened to the story about my future website numerous times. I'm sorry everyone else who I've missed.
- Thanks to John for holding the PHP course that gave me the ability to write this website from scratch.
- Thanks to Wei Dat for his assistance in linking the images to the data and giving me some ideas on how the website should work.
- Thanks to Shami, Warren, Nick, Steve and Jess for their continued interest in the website and always enquiring how many visits I've had each month (and how much money I'd have made if I had ads on it).
- Thanks also to V, J, Andy, Jon, Mark F, Anna, Adrian and Vince for still asking about the website after all these years and mentioning it to other people.
- Thanks to my wife's sister who has provided me with money every year for my birthday knowing full well it will be spent on more books.
- Thanks to Abbey for the numerous times she carried multiple book deliveries to my desk in 2012, especially the heavy boxes up the stairs.
- Thanks to Jean-Claude (the French Groom) and Brownie (the French Bride) for their continued interest in the website and for spotting Bond stuff around the place for me to take photos of.
- Thanks also to the following other Bond and book related websites: Anders, John, Peter, Anagnostis and Tim who were the first to help promote the website.
- Thanks to the many other people who have helped promote the website by adding links on their own sites or by word-of-mouth. I greatly appreciate your help and hope I can reciprocate.
- Thanks to FreeHostia.com who hosted this site for free for the first twelve months.
- Thanks to the people who sent congratulatory emails soon after the website was launched in January 2012. That really made the time and effort it had taken me up to that point feel worthwhile.
- Thanks to everyone who have visited and re-visited the website since it was launched. It's a scary thing creating a website and not knowing if people will visit it, so I'm really glad so many people have enjoyed their visit.
- Thanks to the artists who designed/created the book covers.
- Thanks to all of the book publishers.
- And lastly, thanks to the authors who wrote the books, especially Mr Fleming.
