DESCRIPTION:
James Bond: The Legacy takes readers through a comprehensive-and fun-history of the movies. This will be a must-have book for the 2002 holiday season.. No, the first James Bond film, James Bond: The Legacy is the official, definitive guide to the 007 phenomenon. You know the name. Illustrated with over 550 rare photographs, illustrations, and storyboards from the Bond archives, James Bond: The Legacy ties in with major events and promotions marking 007's 40th anniversary. Loaded with anecdotes, facts, and illustrations, the book provides features on the key actors, from Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan, directors, costume and set designers, and others working behind the scenes. As the films move into their fifth decade, the book traces the total Bond impact, through fashion, the Austin Powers films, the Robbie Williams video, and much more, on a whole new generation. You know the number. The book places the films in the context of their times, showing how producers Albert "Cubby" Broccoli and Harry Saltzman drew inspiration from the Cold War and from suave, glamorous icons like Hugh Hefner and JFK, and how later world events shaped story lines-and even how closely the series presaged actual technological developments.

Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. . Although much of today's superspy adulation is directed toward Austin Powers, Mike Meyers's campy Bond knock-off, sometimes, only the original will do. The authors occasionally drift into the melodramatic (e.g., "What would a world be like without Bond?" they wonder), but also bring a host of juicy behind-the-scenes tales to the table, including battles with UK censors over the moniker Pussy Galore, one of the most celebrated of all Bond seductresses. An oversized book with more than 550 illustrations, it's essentially a lengthy love letter to one of the greatest film franchises of all time. It's hard to do justice to such a mythic character, but documentary producers Cork and Scivally manage just that with this volume, a tasty feast for any 007 aficionado. Of course, t
THE ULTIMATE BOND BOOK Claudio R. R. Alves Unfortunately, this is the ultimate, but not the definitive. Not with the ongoing series, as a matter of fact, Bond 21 has just been announced, and it has a name and a director already, despite the fact that producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson don't have a man for the job at hand!But never mind, this is the kind of book that never gets out of date, it is brilliantly written, not only full of exciting pictures from the series and from behind the scenes, as well, but also, and forem. A Customer said A real treat for aficionados !. I own several books on the subject ("The Essential Bond", "The Incredible World of 007", "The Bond Encyclopedia", "The James Bond Movie Book", etc) and while they are all very good, this one has to be the best by a long shot. The reasons ?: The excelent quality and size of the photographs; shot by shot analyis of some of the best Bond scenes; excelent material from the new release, "Die another day" and, ultimately, the amazing job done by the writers ! This book could not have been done by an. A must have for the Bond fan Harry Pandolfino This is the story from the creation to the present day and is a not only a fascinating film history in itself, but an perceptive study of how what should have been just another action film became the longest running engagement in cinema history. Definitely to be savored, preferably with a vodka martini, shaken-not stirred.
