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.

Beowulf (Caitlin R. Kiernan)


Beowulf
Caitlin R. Kiernan

Blurb: Who will come to the aid of the beleaguered King Hrothgar, whose warriors have become the prey of the outcast creature Grendel?

A grand and glorious story that has endured for centuries, this classic tale of heroes, gods and monsters takes on breathtaking new life in a remarkable new version for a modern era.

Brilliantly reimagined by acclaimed, award-winning author Caitlin R. Kiernan, based on the screenplay by the No. 1 bestseller Neil Gaiman and Academy Award winning screenwriter Roger Avary, it tells of a noble lord and a terrible creature who has brought death, blood and destruction to his kingdom - and of the great hero, Beowulf, who is called to a land of monsters to triumph where so many have failed...or to die as so many of the brave have before him.
