The Bond movies remain the longest continually running film series in movie history. As the over 1 billion dollar worldwide take of last year’s Skyfall showed, James Bond remains an iconic and beloved franchise. While there have been other actors that have taken on the coveted role of James Bond, one of the most renowned and beloved 007s, is the charming and charismatic Sir Roger Moore. To celebrate these films and their cultural heritage, Roger Moore has written a book that features all the Bond movies, along with a wonderfully witty account of his own involvement in them. From the girls to the villains, the cars to the cocktails, the gadgets, locations and everything else, this beautiful book is illustrated with hundreds of iconic images from all the films plus many previously unseen photos from the Bond archive. This is the ultimate James Bond book, written by the ultimate insider, with all the affection and good humor Moore brought to the role. It is the perfect gift for all fans of these much loved films
