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.

Middle School - The Worst Years of My Life (James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts)

Middle School - The Worst Years of My Life

James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts

Blurb: This is the totally insane story of how I, Rafe Khatchadorian,

-fought and overcame a diabolical teacher called Dragon Lady,

-sold my soul to the school bully, a dollar at a time,

-wrestled with a real live bear; repeatedly,

-fell kind of in 'like' with the most popular girl in school,

-went into the soda business and went bust,

-and accidentally-on-purpose hurt all the people I care about.

The worst days of my life were good sometimes.

Bad sometimes.

But mostly they were hilarious.

See for yourself.

Disneyland - A Pictorial Souvenir Celebrating 45 Years of Magic (Tim O'Day)

Disneyland - A Pictorial Souvenir Celebrating 45 Years of Magic

Tim O'Day

Blurb: One familiar greeting at the Main Entrance has welcomed over 400 million guests since the opening of Disneyland Park in 1955: 'Hello and welcome to this happy place called Disneyland.' With the creation of the park Walt Disney conceived one of the most important entertainment landmarks of the 20th century...a place that transcends age, language, and politics. It has also become a living blueprint for all of the Disney theme parks and resorts that have followed in its successful example. However, it is still truly one-of-a-kind and 'will never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world.' So whether this is your first visit with us or one hundredth, once again, we say 'Welcome!' As Walt Disney stated on opening day, 'Disneyland is your land' and we hope you have a fun-filled stay with us here at 'The Happiest Place on Earth' and leave with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
