Bond on Bond - The Ultimate Book on 50 Years of Bond Movies (Roger Moore)

Bond on Bond - The Ultimate Book on 50 Years of Bond Movies

Roger Moore

Blurb: There are not many people in the world who would fail to recognise the name James Bond, and this fabulous book celebrates fifty years of Bond movies - making it the longest continually running film series in movie history. However, while it may be true to say there have been several Bonds, in reality the longest-serving 007, and the one considered to have the most charisma and panache, is undoubtedly Sir Roger Moore, KBE.

This lavishly illustrated book celebrates all fifty years of Bond in all his guises, from the debonair flourish of Sean Connery to the beautiful beefcake of Daniel Craig. However, most excitingly, Roger Moore provides a distinctive and highly personal tribute that takes in all the films, along with a wonderfully witty account of his part in them. From the girls to the locations, from the gadgets to the villains, from the cars to the cocktails, this handsome book is illustrated with many iconic images from all of the Bond movies, plus previously unseen shots from the author's personal collection.

All in all, it's the ultimate James Bond book written by the ultimate James Bond himself. No true aficionado should be without it.

For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming + James Bond (Ben Macintyre)

For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming + James Bond

Ben Macintyre

Blurb: One morning in February 1952, a journalist called Ian Fleming sat down at his desk and set about creating a fictional secret agent. James Bond was born and would go on to become one of the most successful, enduring and lucrative creations in literature. But Bond's world of glamour and romance, gadgets and cocktails, espionage and villainy wasn't entirely drawn from imagination: Fleming's background and his experiences as an intelligence officer during the Second World War were all formative parts in the creation of the world's most famous spy.

Packed with astonishing detail and written in Macintyre's inimitable style, For Your Eyes Only is the most enlightening biography of Ian Fleming and James Bond, the spy who not only lived twice, but proved to be immortal.
