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.

From Pieces To Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside Queens (Curtis James Jackson aka 50 Cent)

From Pieces To Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside

Curtis James Jackson aka 50 Cent

Blurb: 'That's what this book is about - the good times and the bad times. I wrote this book to explain the world I come from. This is why I say the rhymes that I say. This is what happened when I was trying to get rich before I died in Southside Queens.'

From Pieces To Weight is a violent and introspective memoir that reveals not only 50's story but the story of a generation of youth faced with hard choices and very few options. A tale of sacrifice, transformation and redemption, it is also one of hope, determination and the power of self. Told in 50's own unique voice, the narrative drips with the raw insight, street wisdom and his struggle to survive at all costs... and behold the American Dream.
